“Love was not something, I realized, that came to you from outside. I had always thought that love was supposed to come from other people, and somehow, I was failing to catch the crumbs of it, failing to eat them, and I went around belly empty and desperate.

And you never feel safe there again. And you are never the same again. The place is changed and you are changed, and neither for the better.”
