Happy Place

by Emily Henry

“Just don’t rush anything. You’ve got your whole life, your career, ahead of you. And you know, feelings come and go. Your career won’t. That’s something you can rely on.”

One more deal I struck with a disinterested universe: If I’m good enough, I’ll be happy. I’ll be loved. I’ll be safe. Instead, I’ve pushed away everyone I love.

“Love means constantly saying you’re sorry, and then doing better.”

Everything is changing. It has to. You can’t stop time.

All you can do is point yourself in a direction and hope the wind will let you get there.

Want is a kind of thief. It’s a door in your heart, and once you know it’s there, you’ll spend your life longing for whatever’s behind it.
