“… because if you're going to commit to anything in this life, shouldn't it be love?”

“Seriously though, why would anyone get married in this day and age?

Because it's the biggest commitment you can make to one another. It's a declaration to the world that this is your person, the one you love, body and soul. It's saying that no matter what life throws at you both, you are going to be there, holding each other's hand every step of the way.“

“Audrey felt stuck. Everyone else was going places, and she was going nowhere.”


HUHUHUHU FEELS

“Some days she loved the variety of her life – she was in no rush to be settled and didn’t feel the need to commit to any one thing. But on other days she felt as though everyone else was on this life train that she’d forgotten to buy a ticket for.”



FEELS. EXACTLY. THE. SAME.

“Sometimes life feels like a hamster wheel. You get caught up in the practicalities of existence and all the joy gets pushed aside in favour of necessity. Sometimes you just need to jump off the wheel.”

“I don’t want to wake up in fifty years with any regrets. I think as soon as you stop wanting to learn, explore, change things, that’s when you get old.”

“… the people who really love you won’t stop just because you get old.”

“… there was one thing Audrey had promised herself from a young age, it was that when it came to love, she would not be anything like her mother.”

This has been my mother’s advice since then. Find a man who loves you MORE than you love him.

My daddy may be a good father, but he isn’t a good husband.

“Committing to someone for the rest of her life was a huge step. Promising not to screw up, forever, was undeniably daunting.”

“Fake it until you make it.”

“Look, it’s human nature to wonder what might have been. It doesn’t mean he’s the person you were supposed to be with.”

“Whatever had happened in the past needed to stay in the past – weddings were about the future.”

“But as someone who’s been married twice, I do have a little wisdom to impart.

Marriage is a partnership, someone to share life’s challenges and celebrations with.

Someone who will love you on the boring days as well as the interesting ones.”

“You’re still young. You can do anything you set your mind to…”

“I’m all about family and I’m at my happiest when we’re all squashed together. I adore children.”

“Since then, perhaps she finds it hard to trust that happiness will last?”

Gonna dnf for now huhu

“Stop and take your time to notice things and make those things you notice matter. Find out the answers you didn’t know to yesterday’s crosswords. Slow down. Stop trying to do everything now, now, now. Hold up the people behind you for all you care, feel them kicking at your heels but maintain your pace. Don’t let anybody dictate your speed.”

“I don’t think you’re thinking of the alternative. Would you rather I kept my promise to spend the rest of my life with Conor, but not love him and be unhappy?

If you think your mother and I had a perfect marriage then you’re wrong because there’s no such thing. No one’s happy all the time, love.

I understand that, but what if you’re never happy. Ever.”

“But you married him, Joyce. Didn’t I bring you down the aisle myself?

You both promised each other in the house of our Lord, I heard you myself with my own ears. What is it with you young people these days, breaking up and remarrying all the time? What happened to keeping promises?”

“Marrying a nice man gives you a nice marriage but never anything more. And nice is OK when it’s among other things but never when it stands alone.”

“He liked to remind himself that his entire world hadn’t fallen apart. Sometimes we need all the glue we can get, just to hold ourselves together.”

“I look in the mirror and see this medium average person. A little tired, a little sad, but not falling apart.”

“Yet the mirror told me this: you can’t know everything by looking at me. You can never know by looking at someone.”
