Quotes by Mary Adkins (?)

“I think regretting is a way to believe (incorrectly) that we have control over life.”
― Mary Adkins, When You Read This

tags: life, when-you-read-this

“Jade and Henry stuck it out, but I drove my rental car back to my Brooklyn apartment that evening and downloaded a stack of self-help books on living with crazy families, and skimmed them late into the night, taking from all of them a single idea that resonated as both wise and comforting: I was allowed to draw a line in the sand. I was allowed to stop involving myself in their drama. And so that’s what I did.”
― Mary Adkins, When You Read This

“Everyone has regret, but that doesn’t mean the choices we made were mistakes, or that we even could have acted differently. It just means we look back and feel like we could have.”
― Mary Adkins, When You Read This
