&Then, there's another kind of love - the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. It's called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one-sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. ... I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not &will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding! Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual symptoms.
-Iris on "The Holiday"
A face on a lover with a fire in her heart. A woman undercover, but you tore me apart.

Quote of the Day.
I understand feeling as small &as insignificant as humanly possible. &How it can actually ache in places you didn't know that you had inside of you. &It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get or gyms you join or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends, you still go to bed every night going over every detail &wonder what you did wrong &how you could have misunderstood... &how in the hell for that brief moment you could think you were that happy. &Sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light &show up @your door. &After all that - however long "all that" may be - you'll go somewhere new &you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. &Little pieces of your soul will finally come back &all that fuzzy stuff - those years of your life that you wasted - that will eventually begin to fade.
-The Holiday
