I don't know if I realized this at the time — I thought I was just doing research for this book I was writing — but it seems really obvious in retrospect. I hoped that if I armed myself with the knowledge of romantic love, I might never have to feel as terrible and lonely as I did then.
No sé si me di cuenta de esto en el momento … Pensé que solo investigaba para el libro que escribía … Pero, en retrospectiva, parece realmente obvio: Pensé que si me armaba con el conocimiento del amor romántico, nunca tendría que sentirme tan mal y sola como me sentí entonces.
