Happy Ending Quotes

“I know it won't always be this way, as close to perfect as it feels right now, that we'll be sad and hurt and struggle. But I also know, through it all, we'll have what matters most, a love that lasts, two hands held, two hearts reaching for each other. An us that will tell a story that begins and ends with we.”

“Maybe, when it comes to telling the stories of our failed relationships, the wounds they inflicted, there are only unreliable narrators, too much hurt warping our perspectives, thwarting any chance to land on the truth of what went wrong.
Maybe, instead of asking, "What went wrong?" we should ask, "When did we stop telling the same story?" Maybe if we could try to figure out when the tugs of our experiences became so distanced, they tore that shared story apart into two stories whose plots couldn't be reconciled, conflicting characters as perpetrator and victim, irreconcilable portrayals of what hurt was premeditated and what was incidental, we'd actually get somewhere.
Because then it wouldn't be all about figuring out, blaming, or exonerating who was wrong or right. It would be about figuring out what kind of story you'd hoped to tell, the story that got away from you; what kind of journey you want to take as you pick yourself up and start to stumble down the road again, the story you want to find yourself in.”
