thanks, kiddo.

No doubt very few people understand the purely subjective nature of the phenomenon that we call love, or how it creates, so to speak, as fresh, a third, a supplementary person, distinct from the person whom the world knows by the same name, a person most of those constituent elements are derived from ourself, the lover. And so there are very few who can regard as natural the enormous proportions that a creature comes to assume in our eyes who is not the same as the creature that they see.
-Marcel Proust
