Cheryl Strayed Quote: "Most people don’t cheat because..."

Friendship
Most people don’t cheat because they’re cheaters. They cheat because they are people. They are driven by hunger or for the experience of someone being hungry once more for them. They find themselves in friendships that take an unintended turn or they seek them out because they’re horny or drunk or damaged from the stuff they didn’t get when they were kids. There is love. There is lust. There is opportunity. There is alcohol. And youth. There is loneliness and boredom and sorrow and weakness and self-destruction and idiocy and arrogance and romance and ego and nostalgia and power and need.

Why This Quote Matters

Think about the last time friendships was really on your mind. Not as an idea, but as a felt thing. This quote fits that moment better than most.

If it did not hit you today, save it anyway. Sometimes words arrive before you are ready for them.

There is a reason some words last. These are those kinds of words.
