Just got through the first chapter, teared up several time and I’m not even a mom! 🥰

redamancy (noun): the act of loving the one who loves you; a love returned in full.

insouciant (adjective): free from worry, concern or anxiety; carefree.

The only people with no regrets are liars.

metanoia (noun): a transformative change of heart. The journey of changing one’s mind, self, or way of life.

Funny how another person’s misfortune can make you realize what you have.

You said that what’s so beautiful about a fool, is that a fool never knows when to give up.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from life as well as fiction, it’s that nobody is ever just a hero or just a villain. We all have it in us to be both.

I care more about liking myself than being liked by others these days, and I don’t waste my time on fake friends anymore.

I love the way you pick up a book in your hands, carefully turning the pages as if the paper were made of gold, then smell them, as if you might be able to breathe in the story.

People are a bit like books for me in that way, and I tend to be genuinely turned on by what’s on the inside rather than just a flashy cover.

Not everything that gets broken can be repaired.

There are forests less shady than my wife🌲🌳🤣

She (Adam’s mother) wrote a note in a first edition of my favorite Stephen King novel: Enjoy the stories of other people’s lives, but don’t forget to live your own.

I wish people were more like books.

The ability to write a good book doesn’t make someone a good person.

Toad in the hole

I’ve never heard of this dish but after looking it up it sounds interesting! What I found online:

Usually in America, toad in the hole refers to an egg cooked in the hole cut out of a piece of bread. In England, it's sausages cooked in what is essentially Yorkshire pudding. To me, the English version is more whimsical, perhaps because Mr. Toad is my favorite character in The Wind in the Willows.

Always be kind.

Petrichor: the smell of fresh rain after warm weather

There’s a good lesson here. You can’t erase mistakes, you just have to figure out how to fix them.

Even though I think scotch tastes like fiery butthole, I pour some into a tumbler and toast it to the dying embers before tilting it to my lips and downing it in one go 🥃

Why don't they play poker in the jungle? Too many cheetahs

"If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down."
A problem, brown bear's fur can be black and some black bear's look brown.

When a person finds someone who makes all the
negativity in their lives disappear, it’s hard not to feed off that person.

Staying in really was the new going out.

But the reason our actual relationship was so short-lived is because he was in love with another woman.

Never mind that the other woman in our relationship was also me.

Nothing says happy birthday more than a candle in your boyfriend’s ween 😳

Removing a remote control from some guy’s bum believing it was an accident before seeing there was a condom on it 😳😅

People are careless with their words nowadays. They throw them away in a text or a tweet, they write them, pretend to read them, twist them, misquote them, lie with, without and about them. They steal them, then they give them away. Worst of all they forget them. Words are only of value if we remember how to feel what they mean.

Life is all about choices, and learning how to put ourselves back together when we fall apart. Which we all do. Even the people who pretend they don’t.
