Every time I go through one of these intensely depressed times, I think "THIS will be the last time I set myself up like this. NEXT time, I'll be hardened and anti-love, so I'll never feel like this again!!!!"
Yeah, well, not so much hard as nails.
So, I've decided to declare myself a hopeless believer in love, and deal with it.
Wonderful.
(That last bit was sarcasm, just in case you didn't spot it.)
