Real love, I’ve learned, is a very, very strong form of forgiveness. I don’t think people yearn for love because they hate staying home along on a Saturday night or because they dread going to restaurants alone. People want love because they want their taped-together glasses or extra ten pounds to be forgiven. They want someone to look passed the surface or stuff like bad hair days, a too-loud laugh, or potato chips crunching in their living room couch when anyone sits down.
