- Advice
on Love
We were driving, and the subject of love came up.
My aunt's friend told me that true love didn't exist.
"You have to make it a 'true' love," she said seriously. "You have to be successful, or love never comes your
way." I cringed at the
thought of me selling out, being a fake for love, and asked her, "What
about true love?" And she
laughed, "Are you serious? True
love has never existed, and it never will." "Of course, it does.
Look at my aunt and uncle!" She
laughed harder. I didn't say much
after that. She dropped me off at
Cherry Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway on her way to a friend's place to
gamble.
