When you get just a complete sense of blackness or void ahead of you, that somehow the future looks an impossible place to be, and the direction you are going seems to have no purpose, there is this word despair which is a very awful thing to feel.

You don't sit down and write a wish list about the person you are going to fall violently in love with. It just doesn't work like that.

You can't reason yourself back into cheerfulness any more than you can reason yourself into an extra six inches in height.
