“I'm not sure why we romanticize 'young love,' or love in general...It just leads to the idea that either your love is pure, perfect and eternal, and you are storybook-compatible in every way with no problems, or you're LYING when you say 'I love you.”
“We cannot fight for love as men may do; We should be woo'd, and were not made to woo.”
“The way we see the problem is the problem.”
“We hasten to alienate the very fates we intended to woo.”
“He was wooing me. And I was letting him woo. I wanted the woo. I deserved the woo. I needed the wow that would surely follow the woo, but for now, the woo? It was whoa.”
