told me a friend once

i really hope that f. will stay with me like forever, you know? i mean, now both of us are in the university and all, but that won't be forever; and after we're done with school, it's is much harder to find someone to love. i mean, it's not impossible. but it's harder. when in school you're given the opportunity to meet so many different people that eventually a couple of them, at least, will catch you eye. it makes relationships much closer. but once we're out of here, it's gets harder and harder. friendships are seldom the same, and half the girls able to make your heart beat faster will be commited or even worse, married. i'm not saying by any means that's impossible, not at all; i'm merely saying that's the odds are rather against you.

by the way, this friend of mine (who would leave university soon after) and f. are still together, and are supposed to get married soon.
