Quotes by Elyssa Friedland (?)

“If you had a certain opinion about someone, anything they said or did confirmed it. Change that opinion, and suddenly their actions could be viewed in a whole new light.”

“Just because it failed in the end doesn’t mean it wasn’t wonderful while it lasted.”
― Elyssa Friedland, Last Summer at the Golden Hotel

“There is literally no way to prepare for parenthood. You can read all the books and make a schedule and love that little person more than you ever thought possible, but being a parent will still gut you. Your kid will say they hate you, they’ll projectile vomit in your face, they’ll have friends you don’t like or they won’t have enough friends and you’ll worry. You’ll never be sure if you should push them harder or whether you need to back off. You won’t know whether to follow your instincts or do what everyone else is doing. You will never be fully relaxed again.”
― Elyssa Friedland, Last Summer at the Golden Hotel
