Emily Giffin
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.
Emily Giffin
In days that follow, I discover that anger is easier to handle than grief.
Emily Giffin
But I have learned that you make your own happiness, that part of going for what you want means losing something else. And when the stakes are high, the losses can be that much greater.
Emily Giffin
True love is supposed to make you into a better person-uplift you.
Emily Giffin
I think of how life takes unexpected twists and turns, sometimes through sheer happenstance, sometimes through calculated decisions. In the end, it can all be called fate, but to me, it is more a matter of faith.
Emily Giffin
No, scratch the word career. Careers are for people who wish to advance. I only want to survive, draw a paycheck.
Emily Giffin
Evident in every small act of kindness, it was love as a verb. Love that made me feel more complete than I had ever felt in my glamorous, Jimmy Choo filled past.
Emily Giffin
I love him wholly and unconditionally and without reservation. I love him enough to sacrifice a friendship. I love him enough to accept my own happiness and use it, in turn, to make him happy back.
Emily Giffin
Love is seldom—almost never—an even proposition. Someone always loves more.
