Journal #6 (senior year)

The quote above is from the book Glass by Ellen Hopkins. This book is told from the point of view of a girl named Kristina who is addicted to drugs. She is not herself when she is on them, and while Kristina is on drugs she meets a guy named Trey. She thinks that he is the love of her life (even though you can clearly see that he is a 'player'). She says the quote above  near the end of the novel when she is trying to understand living with him and dealing with his outbursts, stealing her money, drug problem, and him cheating all at once (not to mention she has a baby living with her all in a one bedroom apartment). Even if all of this wasn't going on, raw emotions in a new relationship can cause anyone to act/feel irrationally, so I can completely understand this quote and the confusion that goes along with it. To put it simply, she is a girl falling in love with a bad person.
