ash wedenesday.

so i read a book [title above] by ethan hawke [the actor] a couple years ago.. probably from when i was a junior or senior in high school. i found a marked page with a starred passage tonight that i randomly thought i'd share with the blog world.

"People don't want to hear what really being in love is like, 'cause it sucks. It's like a diamond; it looks pretty from the outside but inside it's hard, angular, and sharp. Truly loving somebody else should never be confused with a good time. Loving somebody is just as painful and disappointing as it is getting to know yourself. it's probably the only thing worth doing, but that doesn't mean it's gonna be a picnic."

granted, he cheated on his wife, which eventually led to their marriage's end, but i think he's on to something, my friends.
