“In desperate love, it’s always like this, isn’t it? In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding that they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place.
(...)
when the object of your affection bestows upon you a heavy hallucinogenic dose of something you've never even dared to admit you wanted. An emotional speedball of thunderous love and excitement. Soon you start craving that attention with the hungry obsession of any junkie. When it's withheld, you turn sick, crazy, not to mention resentful of the dealer who encouraged this addiction in the first place but now refuses to pony up the good stuff. Goddamn him, and he used to give it to you for free.
Next stage finds you skinny, shaking in a corner certain only that you'd sell your soul just to have that thing one more time. Meanwhile the object of you adoration is now repulsed by you. He looks at you like someone he's never met before. Irony is you can hardly blame him. I mean, check yourself out. You're a mess. Unrecognizable even to your own eyes.
You have now reached infatuation's final destination. The complete and merciless devaluation of self."
