The Seven Year Itch
Seven years is an awfully long time to work on a book. Then again, I would have hated what I would have published should I have agreed to send it off in the world sooner. Some books need more time. That time is spent with story and character development. It is required to really understand the novel’s purpose—and even though I always knew what I wanted to accomplish with this se Read more of this blog post »

Hi lovely readers! I wanted to leave a little note here—not just as the author, but as someone who lived inside this story for a long time. Vow or Never is, at its heart, about messy beginnings—the kind that don’t look like love at first, the kind that ...more |

“The only thing that kept me going was knowing how easily I could have stayed with someone that wasn’t right for me. How I could have easily settled and accepted my life for what it was rather than what it could be.”

“: "Still, we ask these questions, do we not? We want to know why things happen the way they do. We want to know if we said or did things differently, then maybe things would have turned out in our favor. Did our actions or inactions hold the magic sauce? As in, if I hadn't seemed too eager or if I had played "the game" differently, then things would have worked out the way that I wanted them to? Maybe he'd still be interested? Or, perhaps, we'd still be together? But seriously, why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we agonize over the details—no matter how minuscule—in hopes of uncovering the deeper meaning of things? We could make things so much easier on ourselves if we didn't feel so compelled to dissect everything and just accepted things for what they are. And what they are is pretty simple: Things didn't work out—not because you responded too quickly to his texts or because you always seemed too available—but because it wasn't meant to be—end of story.”

“No one, myself included, ever considers that life doesn’t give two shits about what you planned for it. Mine certainly didn’t. Yet, there I was, beating myself up for not living up to those expectations I had set for myself as though my life’s dream board had caught fire. The mere thought of me not having reached certain milestones yet made me feel like it directly reflected on my successes in life. Therefore, I had to accept that this was my life—for now. It was nothing more than a resting place and not the final destination. And the only way it could have ever been the final destination as if I had chosen to settle there, and I refused to do that.”

“But what I failed to see was that the reward wasn’t so much about finding love with another person but rather finding love within myself.”

“There is no proverbial arrow that strikes you in the heart, and love just magically finds you. Love is far more complex than that." And I couldn't have phrased that any better.”
