Daisy Jones & The Six

by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it’s not faith, right?

if you redeem yourself, then believe in your own redemption.

People say that life keeps moving, but they don’t mention that it does stop sometimes, just for you. Just for you and your girl. The world stops spinning and just lets you two lie there.

I don’t believe in soul mates anymore and I’m not looking for anything. But if I did believe in them, I’d believe your soul mate was somebody who had all the things you didn’t, that needed all the things you had. Not somebody who’s suffering from the same stuff you are.

And Daisy didn’t actually have confidence. She was always good. Confidence is being okay being bad, not being okay being good.

I’m not saying that I didn’t care. I cared a lot. I’m saying that when you really love someone, sometimes the things they need may hurt you, and some people are worth hurting for.

I’ll tell you: If a friend lied to me the way I lie to myself, I’d say, “You’re a shitty friend.”
