- When we have something, we want something else.
- This doesn't mean we cannot enjoy what we have.

- See that 'unattractive' guy and his hottie girlfriend and visa versa? There's hope.
- Not sure how you're coming across (e.g., desperate, too flirtatious, cold, etc.)? Buy a friend (not a best friend) a drink, ask a few questions, and you'll know. You may cry, but you'll know.
- You're not the only one depressed by the pukey pda in the park.
