“Hate is loud, but I think you'll learn it's because it's only a few people shouting, desperate to be heard. You might not ever be able to change their minds, but so long as your remember you're not alone, you will overcome.”

“All I will say is that you show up for your friends on their hardest days. And you hold their hand through the roughest parts. Life is about who is holding your hand and, I think, whose hand you commit to holding.”

“Love is a tremendous gift… a gift and a burden. Marriage especially is more than just hope and luck and a handshake.

It will push you and bend you and test you, and if you’re not prepared for any of that, it will shatter you.”
