Chapter 5 page 21
"Addiction is the hallmark of every infatuation-based love story. It all begins with the object of your adoration bestows upon you a heady, hallucinogenic dose of something you never even dared to admit that you wanted...Soon you start craving that intense attention, with the hungry obsession of any junkie. When the drug is withheld, you promptly turn sick, crazy and depleted. Next stage finds you skinny and shaking in a corner certain only that you would steel your soul to rob your neighbors just to have that thing even one more time" (pg21).
I found this chapter to be very interesting, funny is more like it because describing and comparing love as a drug addiction(something negative)to love(something positive) seemed so strange but when it comes down to it, it makes perfect sense. Love is like a drug. You sneak around, putting yourself on the line to get it, giving up your time and money. Once you have a taste of the drug you become overwhelmed with new and uncertain feelings. You have to try it again because those new feelings are so strong and exciting, and once you experience something better then what you had/felt before you don't want to go back. Love is not free.
