Count your horror stories of attempted trust. Recollect. We then compare and decide we’ve equally been outdone by strangers we’ll never see again. Afterwards, mutual disinterest is the universal result; the only exceptions proving the rule: love takes a little distrust of self.

if we knew what we wanted, we'd know when we've failed.

But because we're confused about what our necessities are, we leave things unsaid, we push away the wrong people, we chase our imagination and ideals we can't acquire, and worst of all we make it seem like we don't even know how to love and care for one another.
