1 " Was I always your option . . . while you were my choice? "
― Mandy Hale , Beautiful Uncertainty
2 " God help me to see the good in the “not knowing” . . . the joy in the “in-between” . . . the meaning in the “meantime. "
3 " YOU REALLY CAN ON ANY GIVEN DAY, AT ANY GIVEN TIME, AT ANY GIVEN PLACE ENCOUNTER SOMEONE WHO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Or at least your night. "
4 " As scary as it might be to take a chance . . . it’s scarier not to. There comes a time when you have to just stop waiting for the answers and start boldly living with the questions. "
5 " MAYBE SOMETIMES THE NOT KNOWING IS BETTER THAN THE KNOWING—BECAUSE IN THE NOT KNOWING, WE CAN WRITE OUR OWN ENDING. "
6 " just because you paint it red and call it love doesn’t mean it is. "
7 " YOU CAN’T LOVE EMPTY BECAUSE THERE’S NOTHING THERE TO LOVE. NOTHING THERE FOR YOUR LOVE TO STICK TO. NOTHING THERE TO LOVE YOU BACK. ARMS HOLDING YOU AND LIPS KISSING YOU MEAN NOTHING IF THE HEART ISN’T ATTACHED. "
8 " BEAUTIFUL CERTAINTY: I often need to be reminded that God’s timetable is better than mine. The in-between, the meantime, the waiting—it can all be frustrating, but it is in those moments we are refined, redesigned, and realigned with God’s will as He prepares us to be launched into our next chapter. "
9 " YOU ARE STRONGER AND BIGGER AND BRAVER THAN WHAT THEY DID, AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO LET IT DEFINE YOU ANY LONGER. FORGIVE. LET GO. MOVE ON. DON’T LOOK BACK. YOUR NEW BEGINNING IS WAITING. "
10 " SO DO THE THING. TAKE THE LEAP. TRY SOMETHING RIDICULOUS, OR CRAZY, OR BRAVE. NO MATTER HOW IT TURNS OUT, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET CHOOSING TO LIVE—WILD, BOLD, AND FREE. "
11 " THE MOST PRECIOUS AND SACRED THINGS IN LIFE ARE THE MOST SIMPLE THINGS. "
12 " But at night, once I had taken off my makeup and my defenses were down and my mind started to wander, it seemed rather than new love sitting down at the table of my life to join me, old love managed to find its way back in . . . "
13 " HERE’S THE THING ABOUT BAD BOYS: IN THE END, THEY ALWAYS WALK AWAY. BUT THEY DON’T LEAVE YOU EMPTY-HANDED. IN THEIR WAKE WILL BE GIRLS WHO NOW KNOW WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF LOVE AND WHAT THEY WON’T STAND FOR EVER AGAIN. "
