Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

Have you ever been in love?
Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. 
It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. 
They didn’t ask for it.
They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. 
It hurts. 
Not just in the imagination. 
Not just in the mind. 
It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.”

Happy Birthday Mylaaaaabs :))

Sometimes, I think about how our friendship has survived in spite how busy we are in our lives and especially the distance between us. But then i smile and i realize that our bond is different. I feel sad for i am not around while you're celebrating your birthday, I'll be seeing you soon tho, another year older. And today, on your birthday, I remember everything that makes you special.

Happy Birthday Mylaaaaabs :*** ILOVEYOU HUROT :"))))))
