&ldquo;We&rsquo;re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness&mdash;and call it love&mdash;true love.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> &ldquo;You&#039;ve gotta dance like there&#039;s nobody watching,<br /> Love like you&#039;ll never be hurt,<br /> Sing like there&#039;s nobody listening,<br /> And live like it&#039;s heaven on earth.&rdquo;

She is just a shadow, living life through daydreams
Technicolored movie scenes continually project onto the empty walls of her mind
Powered by a subconscious hope that one day it will be her turn to love and be loved
Dreams of handsome lovers and golden sunsets give her meaningless life a vicarious sense of purpose
But it is better to smile at the joy of daydreams than to never smile at all.
