The Problem with Falling Quotes

“We get one shot at this thing called life, Theodore. One shot at living it to the fullest. We might as well fall ridiculously in love every chance we get. I promise you, when your last day comes on this earth, you’ll never think, ‘Wow, I should’ve loved a little less.’ So go ahead and love a little more.”
― Brittainy C. Cherry, The Problem with Falling

“Yes, well. We were never promised forever. That’s why we made every single day count. We never lived by the idea that we shouldn’t go to bed angry. That’s just not realistic. Some nights in marriage, you’re pissed off. You’re raging for days, weeks even. But we did have the rule that when we did go to bed angry, our feet would still touch. Even if they came with grumbling and curse words, our feet always touched beneath the cover. It was a reminder that we were still us. Even when our emotions didn’t match, our hearts still did.” She smiled, but I knew it was a smile of grief. Of sorrow. “I’ll miss his voice. I’ll miss his laugh. I’ll miss his bad jokes. But I think I’ll miss his touch the most.”
― Brittainy C. Cherry, The Problem with Falling

“Some people think loving others is the hardest thing to do, but the truth is it’s much harder to allow yourself to be loved. It’s hard to make peace with your past mistakes, with feeling unworthy, with self-doubts. It’s tough to believe that anyone would ever see the good in you, so a lot of people push others away. They think they are unworthy of love because of their missteps in life. But I think everyone deserves love. Maybe the broken ones deserve it a little bit more than most.”
