Timnath Serah (and what comes before)

"All these movies and stories about how romantic it is to hopelessly and genuinely love someone for years on end who doesn't love back in the same way are a complete crock.  All these terribly romantic stories and situations don't always have happy endings.  Not only that, somebody hurts a whole heck of a lot in the meantime.  I think someone who holds on when it's hopeless is a hopeless moron, not a hopeless romantic.  There's a terribly fine line between hopelessly romantic and sickly obsessive and I'm never quite sure which side of the line I'm on.  To the one they recoil, and the other they revere, never knowing quite how alike the two are."
