Favorite Quote/Passage from a Book in 2014:

“There must come a time, after you've been online dating for months or even years, when you feel your spirit leaving your body. You'll stay online, but you won't even know why. You'll still sign in and look at people's profiles, just to pass the time, but you won't think of them as humans any longer. They might look like people, but then so do you, and you know that all you are anymore is a shell. You'll start flailing.” - Never Have I Every: My Life So Far Without a Date by Katie Heaney
