Beloved.

The fantastic writer David Rakoff wrote this phrase and it is one of those things that when you hear it you ask yourself how you never thought to place those words in that order to express that idea:

Beloved by all, yet loved by none.

I guess we all feel that way sometimes. I don’t know which is sadder, that we all sometimes feel that way at occasional points in our lives, or that when we feel that way we also delude ourselves into thinking we are beloved.

Here’s how I learned about David Rakoff.
