One of the most painful parts of a breakup is having the feeling that your life is a story, and then the other person leaves and takes the story with them. And you're left there without it. You're left in this version of life that's basically a succession of events and interactions that don't seem to be going anywhere.

There is something wonderful in seeing a wrong-headed...When the legends die, the dreams end...When two people decide to get a divorce...When our bodies are sick and people extend...There's love for your parents, your family, your spouse...Real intimacy depends on truth...
