Love is hard.
It begins with the sweetest crust, to drive you in, to let you believe that this is good for you and can make you laugh. It begins with the illusion of thinking that even a small bite can change you, can make you taste the happiness in the world.
But it is not.
It’s like pills.
Every pill has that sweet crust. But as you have it in your mouth, for a while, the sweetness fades. You begin to see the bitterness. That bitterness, is the core. That’s the whole idea of love. You taste it, you don’t like it. That bitterness, however, can help you recover. This crazy little pill, that poisons you, that allures you, is what we all long for.
