Excerpts of Perfection

Contradiction

Everyone says that getting over somebody "just takes time" and that one day it will stop hurting and the door will open for you to move on.

We are also told that love is eternal; something extraordinary that will stay with you forever.

However, after a break up, suddenly love becomes something you should get over once a little time had passed. The contradiction is immense. Right now, I was somewhere in the middle.

- Oakley [chapter 1]
