Marian Keyes
Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted make-up.
Marian Keyes

Marian Keyes
smarter than me. But here's the thing my life did get better. I made a decision to let go of my dreams, because they were killing me, and I stopped asking the impossible of myself. I changed my attitude and decided to focus on what I had rather than what i didn't have.
