“I am a hopeless romantic. A silly, ridiculous, foolish romantic. I live in a fantasy land. I need to get real. And now, for the first time, I want to get real. I want a real relationship with a real man in the real world–-with all the real problems, faults, and whatever comes with it.”
“I am a romantic, but I do put up a barrier around myself, so it is hard for people to get in and to know the real me ”
“All too often, "falling in love" with the fantasy of romantic love becomes the aphrodisiac, rather than learning to love the real person and in real conditions of existence.”
“When I got older I decided I wanted to be a real writer. I tried to write about real things. I wanted to describe the world, because to live in an undescribed world was too lonely.”
“It's not that I don't like the real world I just wouldn't want to live here full time.”
“I am learning that a life isn't real unless someone else knows its reality. And I want my life to be real.”
