| 7ecc479 | I feel as if they are putting on a show... It is always that way when you are in a group and someone decides to go for a swim or walk to the water. The ocean is like a giant stage. It is natural that the others watch, if only for a moment. | Emily Giffin | ||

| 5f6584d | When you are in a relationship, you are aware that it might end. You might grow apart, find someone else, simply fall out of love. But a friendship isn't a zero-sum game, and as such, you assume that it will last forever, especially an old friendship. You take its permanence for granted, which might be the very thing so dear about it. | Emily Giffin | ||

| bce8d82 | Even if he is my best friend in theory, I sometimes feel as if I share more of my life with Cate and April and even Rachel - at least when it comes to the everyday matters that comprise my life - from the alive of cheesecake I regret eating to the killer sunglasses I found on sale to the adorable thing Ruby said or Frank did.

| 09e687b | Even if he is my best friend in theory, I sometimes feel as if I share more of my life with Cate and April and even Rachel - at least when it comes to the everyday matters that comprise my life - from the slice of cheesecake I regret eating to the killer sunglasses I found on sale to the adorable thing Ruby said or Frank did. Eventually, I get around to telling Nick this stuff, too, if it's still relevant or pressing when we're finally toge.. | Emily Giffin | ||
| 20285f0 | But at the time, I honestly didn't think I was hurting anyone, not even myself. I didn't think much at all, in fact. Yes, I was gorgeous and lucky in love, but I truly believed that I was also a decent person who deserved her good fortune. | Emily Giffin | ||
| f91a6e1 | It's the feeling of belonging. Right here where I am. In this house. With my parents and Charlotte. The people who know all my stories, from the beginning. The people who know me. | Emily Giffin | ||
| 4266e81 | The feeling of leaving, even when you don't want to. The feeling that sometimes things just can't be fixed. | Emily Giffin | ||

| b3bb757 | I've often let my goals supersede the journey--and the love of what I'm doing. A constant battle to stay in control, get to the next level, ensure that my life stays perfectly, carefully scripted. | Emily Giffin | ||
| def1760 | and then realize it's not Peter I miss, but the idea of what I once thought we shared. | Emily Giffin | ||
| db98354 | I desperately want to feel that way again. To be in a relationship that I'm not trying to script or water down. It's about wanting something real--even if it's messy and complicated. | Emily Giffin | ||

| f2834e0 | I close my eyes, inhale, and feel a rush of heat and energy that takes my breath away. It is the feeling of wanting something so much that it borders on an actual need, and the power and urgency of this need overwhelms me. | Emily Giffin | ||
| af49c4f | I know by now that you can't control your life, no matter how hard you try. That inevitably people leave and disappoint and die. But there is one constant, one thing you can always count on: that not only does love come first, but in the end, it is the only thing that remains. | Emily Giffin | ||
| 44143a1 | The late afternoon sun highlighted all her lines and wrinkles, making her look older than I thought of her as. Then again, she probably was in her early seventies by now, which somehow seemed so much older than one's late sixties. | Emily Giffin | ||

And now look at you," my mom says, so nostalgic that she seems to forget all her gripes with Belinda. And me for that matter." | Emily Giffin | ||
| b08f3e0 | It was probably a function of getting older--I think we all become exaggerated versions of ourselves, | Emily Giffin | ||
| dac8e3f | Nada es perfecto nunca [...]. Lo que cuenta es lo que tu haces. | Emily Giffin | ||
| 4cb1e23 | Pienso en todos los corazones que se estan rompiendo en este momento, en Manhattan, en todo el mundo. En todo ese dolor abrumador. Hace que me sienta un poco menos sola pensar que hay otras personas que se estan desgarrando por dentro. | Emily Giffin | ||

| f8faaf4 | Cuando tienes una relacion, eres consciente de que se puede acabar. puede que os distancieis, conozcais a otro o simplemente que dejeis de estar enamorados. Pero una amistad no es un juego de suma cero y, como tal, das por sentado que durara para siempre, en especial si es una vieja amistad. das por sentada su permanencia; quiza sea por eso por lo que es tan valiosa. | Emily Giffin | ||

| dc14eeb | In some ways, though she had very high moral standards, she was actually the least judgmental person I knew. But ever since the seventh grade, she'd always given it to me straight. It had caused a few arguments over the years, as sometimes she hurt my feelings with her bluntness. But I cherished our filterless relationship and considered it the truest measure of a best friend, greater than pure affection. Who was the person you trusted enou.. | Emily Giffin | ||

| 122c3bf | hesitated, thinking of all the ways I could change the subject, then made a spur-of-the-moment decision that I was finished with small talk and surface conversation and diversions and lies of any kind, no matter how small. At least for right now, as I sat at my parents' dining room table, with a kind man who had once loved me, and who still prayed to God before supper. | Emily Giffin | ||
| d44c0ab | If I ever wrote a book on divorces, one of my first suggestions to parents would be: Get rid of the second (or third) wife in the background when you're talking to your child--at least some of the time. | Emily Giffin | ||
