“We may not have been built for monogamy, but interestingly enough, it’s the one animalistic trait we aren’t always trying to transcend.

“Some of the most told stories are the ones that don’t end well, the ones that are beautiful because someone laid it all on the line, was brave and vulnerable and submitted to the human condition.
