I think that not everyone is well-suited to be everything someone else needs at the same time that someone is everything they need. Don't get me wrong, clearly a lot of people are, and that's admirable in its own way, like twin stars in a dance in the heavens, circling one another. But there are, I'm sure, an infinite number of celestial configurations. The trick, no matter what, is to be honest about your expectations."
