"I have boundary issues with men. Or maybe that's not fair to say. i have issues with boundaries, one must HAVE boundaries in the first place, right? But I DISAAPEAR into the person I love. I am the permeable membrane. If I love you, you can have EVERYTHING. You can have my time, my devotion, my ass, my money, my family, my dog, my dog's money, my dog's time.....EVERYTHING. If I love you, i will carry for you all your pain, i will assume for you all your debts (in every definition of the word), I will protct you from your own insecurity, I will project upon you all sorts of good qualities that you have never actually cultivated in yourself and I will buy Christmas presents for your entire family. I will give you the sun and the rain, and if they are not available, I will give you a sun check and a rain check. I will give you all this and more, until I get so exhausted and depleted that they only way I can recover my energy is by becomming infatuated with someone else."
-eat, pray, love
