marry well.
Falling in love is a huge risk.
Falling in love while sharing a creative pursuit is even riskier.
And the risk is damn well worth it.

Thanks Mom.

“it was fate.”
Me: Ma, how’d you know daddy was the one?
Mama: I just knew. I don’t know how people are nowadays, but when you know, you know. It was fate.
love is a choice.
I know you. You’ve always believed you’d have this big romantic movie-like love in your life. Just remember - there wouldn’t be a whole movie if things just fell easily into place. The obstacles and hurdles you get through are what makes the greatest love stories real.
If this were a love story, I don’t think the female lead would make her life decision based on the guy. She’d choose wherever she felt was best for herself. Things may be hard, but if that was her guy - they’d still end up together.
Falling IN LOVE with somebody is so easy - it’s the butterflies, the giddy, cuteness of it all, the feelings. But loving somebody is a choice. And it’s always, always a matter of timing.
You have to make those weird and at times annoying mistakes to figure out what you ultimately want in your career, partnerships - both business & romance - and just life in general. If you never make them, you’ll never figure out what you deserve to have.”
I’m convinced the majority of relationships have very little to do with finding the one and everything to do with timing.”
