Like the swaggering pirates, let’s make the most and best and worst of what we have. Give not one-third but everything. All - all - all. Keep nothing back…

“Romantic obsession is my first language. I live in a world of fantasies, infatuation and love poems. Sometimes I wonder if the yearning I’ve felt for others was more of a yearning for yearning itself. I’ve pined insatiably and repeatedly: for strangers, new lovers, unrequited flames. While the subjects changed, that feeling always remained. Perhaps, then, I have not been so infatuated with the people themselves, but with the act of longing.”
-Melissa Broder, from “Life without Longing,” The New York Times
