Tiny: You know what's a great metaphor for love? Me: I have a feeling you're about to tell me... Tiny: Sleeping beauty... because you have to plow through this incredible thicket of thorns in order to get to beauty, and even then, when you get there, you still have to wake her up.

Beauty can be sad. You're proof of that. When the damage is done, you're damaged goods. That's not to say it's not okay. I wouldn't have it any other way. A heart, a heart that hurts, is a heart, a heart that works.
