Unrequited Love Is All Right In Books And Things, But In Real Life, It Completely Sucks

Unrequited Love

Growing Up, I Mostly Read Comic Books And Sci-fi. Then I Discovered The Book 'jane Eyre' By Jane Austen. It Introduced Me To The World Of Romance, Which I Have Since Never Left. Also, The World Of The First-person Narrative.
