But in spite of my great desire for intimacy, I've always been a loner. Perhaps when the longing for connection is as strong as it is in me, when the desire is for something so deep and true, one knows better than to try. One sees that this is not the place for that.

It's amazing how smart the body is. Though maybe we could do without loving. I think it's overrated, and I think it's too hard.
