“When I was 17 I used to run into quotes about people falling in love at such an age– I did not understand any of it. Not like I should have. Not like I do now. I finally understand those hopeless romantic stories about never-ending fairy tales of love that could only exist for a few because sometimes, loving someone meant that you loved them for a short duration and it took such a long time to realize this. This period of agony. This period of longing. This period of pain. I finally get why people fall in love at 17. I get why writers wrote about lost dreams and people they saw inside of their coffee. I get why people fell out of love now– And it’s a tragedy that it had to be this way.”— On understanding the love quotes
