Life's Too Short (The Friend Zone, #3)

“You should always have an adventure lined up. Having something to look forward to is tantamount to happiness.”

And why would you get something mass produced when you could try someplace unique? There are a finite amount of meals in this life and wasting one on something mundane when you have the means to have anything different is a travesty.

“One Day Syndrome. You live your life like there’ll always be one day to do all the things you put off. One day you’ll take the trip. One day you’ll have the family. One day you’ll try the thing. You’re all work and not enough play. Money can’t make you happy unless you know what you want, Adrian. So what do you want?”

You are the kind of man who can’t see the shapes in the clouds. And it’s not because you lack imagination. It’s because you’re too busy to look up.”

“My inner monologue is like a hundred open tabs. You should hear the things I don’t say.”

Women like Vanessa were muses for artists and musicians. They became famous paintings and love ballads. They danced in the rain and ran away with princes who would give up their thrones to have them. They were the sirens that sailors wrote about with voices that could lure a man to his death. She was a beautiful migratory bird with her wings clipped.

“I don’t pretend to be happy. I just refuse to be sad.”
