you'd do anything to get a soul mate back, right?… I mean, that's the nature of soul mates.
Emily Giffin

As everyone applauds and sips champagne, I smile back at Rachel, thinking she got it just right. Love and friendship. They are what makes us who we are and what can change us, if we let them.

No scratch the word career. Careers are people who wish to advance. I only want to survive, draw a paycheck. This is merely a job. I can take or leave this place. I start to imagine quitting and following my yet-to-be-determined passion.

No matter what the circumstances. I am more like most men in this regard. No second chances. It's not so much about morality, but about my inability to forgive. I'm a champion grudge holder, and I don't think I could change this about myself even if I wanted to.

Emily Giffin
Image
Maybe that's what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all.

What's the point of being sad? he says. We're here now.
Emily Giffin
Image
Throughout the ordeal, I learned that getting mad was easier than being sad. Anger was something I could control. I could settle into an easy rhythm of blame and hate. Focus my energy on something than the ache in my heart.

I try to write about real women, real people - in other words flawed characters.

It's amazing to me how few guys know their friends' birthdays.
Emily Giffin
Image
That's how life is. Sometimes there are happy endings, sometimes there aren't, and more often there are shades of gray.
Emily Giffin
Image
I spend the rest of the afternoon trying to explain to Zoe one of the very saddest notions in love and life: sometimes the timing is wrong--and sometimes you realize the heart of the matter way to late in the game.

True love is supposed to make you into a better person-uplift you.

How different this moment feels, for so many reasons. I tell myself that no two loves are identical - but that I don't have to compare anymore.
