The more I read this quote, the more I realize how grammatically incorrect it is, but I can't find the way to correct it. It's written in a way, like Ricky's writing, where it's hard to decipher when I should stop the run-on sentences and when to just put commas everywhere. I'm leaving it as is with a few touch-ups because I'm anal about SOME grammar errors, such as "for" instead of 4. Really, Internet? Really?
"Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call. Go after her because that’s what you should do if you love someone. Don’t wait for them to give you a sign 'cause it may never come. Don’t let people happen to you; don’t let me happen to you. Or her. She’s not a fucking television show or a tornado. There are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at 4 in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this. I always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest. Making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3,000 miles on four days notice because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and breathing into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone really is. That is raw and that is unguarded and that is all that is worth anything. Really."
is it bad that i dont see the grammar mistake, it sounds good to me! 8X
