"I was late to understand that chaos and intensity are no substitute for
lasting love, nor are they necessarily an improvement on real life.
Normal people are not always boring. On the contrary. Volatility and
passion, although often more romantic and enticing, are not
intrinsically preferable to a steadiness of experience and feeling about
another person. These are beliefs, of course, that one has intuitively
about friendships and family; they become less obvious when caught in a
romantic life that mirrors, magnifies, and perpetuates one's own
mercurial emotional life and temperament."
Is it odd that I never found instability to be appealing?
