One True Loves

by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I think that perhaps everyone has a moment that splits their life in two. When you look back on your own timeline, there’s a sharp spike somewhere along the way, some event that changed you, changed your life, more than the others. A moment that creates a “before” and an “after.”

I had predicated my life on the idea that I wanted to see everywhere extraordinary, but I’d come to realize that extraordinary is everywhere.

Good things don’t wait until you’re ready. Sometimes they come right before, when you’re almost there.

“I want to be with someone who lives for me. I want to be with someone who considers me the love of her life. I deserve that.”

It breaks my heart to be loved like this, to be loved so purely that I’m capable of breaking a heart.
