Impromptu Personal Thought-

"I used to believe that being in love meant being overwhelmed by intense passion, which could only be subdued by immediate reciprocation. But now I'm starting to believe that being in love- really being in love- involves a determined patience. And although its been said a thousand times, in a hundred different ways--it is having a deep desire for the other's happiness-- even when you have no part in it."
