As Happens Sometimes ...

I want to share my favorite passage from a book I read recently. It comes near the beginning and is rather isolated as a thought, so don't fret over the story being ruined in any way for you if you haven't read the book. As it stands, I won't name the book and so, one day, if you ever read it and come across this part, you'll know what I what I had been reading.

Try this: You've been in love with someone for a decade - someone who barely knows you're alive. You've done everything, tried everything to make this person see you are a valuable, estimable person, and your love is worth something. Then one day you open up the paper and glance at the Personals column, and there you see that your loved one has placed an ad ... seeking someone worthwhile to love and be loved by.

Just wanted to share that with you.
