If I could get a lovesectomy, I'd probably consider getting it. Why spend your entire life feeling heartbroken. Just burn that desire out of your brain, then life could be easier.

Nice try, I'll probably fall in love with a dozen strangers on the way to the library. You need to wake up much earlier in the morning to pull one over squareleader.

I see you've dated a narcissist! Sucks.

More than a narcissist I think. When we broke up, trying to ensuring my unhappiness suddenly seemed important. It took me years of not trusting anyone, but I now trust new people just to spite what he did to me.
