MYTH: If you love something, set it free.  If it comes back, it belongs to you.

REALITY: If it doesn’t come back to you, maybe you should have just set it on fire like you really wanted.  Or shot it in the thigh with a harpoon gun.  Or ripped off its glasses, stomped on them with your boots and smacked it so hard you felt the impact radiate up to your shoulder blades. Or told it the truth.
