This was so good. I envy those who want the relationship they have (as opposed to wanting people who are unavailable in some sense).

"For me, sex and love were strands tied together, the thrill cinching when both ends were pulled. For Scott (so he’d explained, trying to assuage me), they were roads that rarely intersected. Nothing turned him on as much as hooking up with strangers, with whom he felt unleashed." Loved this paragraph. I so identify with the author and not with Scott.

There’s something about these fleeting connections with would-bes and as universal an experience it can be it’s still deeply bittersweet. Thank you for sharing this with us.
