I think you can love a person too much. you put someone up on a pedestal, and all of a sudden, from that perspective, you notice what's wrong - a hair out of place, a run in a stocking, a broken bone. you spend all your time and energy making it right, and all the while, you are falling apart yourself. you don't even realize what you look like, how far you've deteriorated, because you only have eyes for someone else.

I Think You Can Love A Person

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. and in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. we all are falling. this hand falls. and look at others: it is in them all. and yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.

Even if you tell yourself "today i'm going to drink coffee the wrong way ... from a dirty boot." even that would be right, because you chose to drink coffee from that boot. because you can do nothing wrong. you are always right. even when you say, "i'm such an idiot, i'm so wrong..." you're right. you're right about being wrong. you're right even when you're an idiot. no matter how stupid your idea, you're doomed to be right because it's yours.

I have been heart broken. you can't breathe, your eyes are pouring a thousand tears a second and you can't foresee going on with love because you never want to feel this way again. but then you have to look in the mirror and say 'shut up, eat some ice cream, be by yourself for a while and think about who you are and who you want to be - then, go out and find someone compatible.' a broken heart feels like the worst thing in the whole world, but it really helps you decide what you want and don't want. you learn a lot from a broken heart.
