61 " Your body and your heart don’t stop finding the beauty and the attraction in other people simply because you’ve made a commitment to one person. "
― Colleen Hoover , Regretting You
62 " It’s my birthday, and I’m surrounded by everyone important to me, but for some reason, I feel more alone than I’ve ever felt. "
63 " Why—when he’s so great to everyone I love—have I been wishing he wasn’t in any of our lives? "
64 " the proof I need that grown-ups might not have their shit figured out any more than we do. They just wear more-convincing masks. That disappoints me. My phone vibrates in my pocket. "
65 " Attraction isn’t something that only happens once, with one person. It’s part of what drives humans. Our attraction to each other, to art, to food, to entertainment. Attraction is fun. So when you decide to commit to someone, you aren’t saying, ‘I promise I’ll never be attracted to anyone else.’ You’re saying, ‘I promise to commit to you, despite my potential future attraction to other people.’” I look at Clara. “Relationships are hard for that very reason. Your body and your heart don’t stop finding the beauty and the attraction in other people simply because you’ve made a commitment to one person. "
66 " We’re very fertile women. Be careful. "
67 " Your body and your heart don’t stop finding the beauty and the attraction in other people simply because you’ve made a commitment to one person. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re drawn to someone else, it’s up to you to remove yourself from that situation before it becomes too hard to fight. "
68 " Even last year, I’d been feeling unfulfilled. I’m proud of my husband and proud of my daughter, but when I look at myself and my life separate from theirs, there’s very little I can find to be proud of. I just feel like I’m full of all this untapped potential. Sometimes my chest feels hollow, as if I’ve lived a life with nothing significant enough to fill it. "
69 " I think that’s the problem. Teenagers think their parents should have it all figured out, but the truth is, adults don’t really know how to navigate life any better than teenagers do. Your father made some big mistakes, but the things he did wrong in his life shouldn’t discredit all the things he did right. Same goes for your aunt Jenny. "
70 " grown-ups might not have their shit figured out any more than we do. They just wear more-convincing masks. "
71 " I realize as I look down at him that I’ve never felt like I belonged with another person more than I belong with Jonah Sullivan. "
72 " Chris doing something like this was a knife to my heart. But Jenny? That’s an obliteration of my soul. "
73 " It’s like my chest has been on a constant search for its missing piece, and Jonah is holding it in his fist. "
74 " Attraction isn't something that only happens once, with one person. It's part of what drives humans. Our attraction to each other, to art, to food, to entertainment. Attraction is fun. So when you decide to commit to someone, you aren't saying 'I promise I'll never be attracted to anyone else.' You're saying 'I promise to commit to you, despite my potential future attraction to other people. "
75 " Clara Grant. She played the role of Nora. "
76 " But you’re the first and only person in this world I’ve ever loved without some reasoning or justification behind it. I just love you because I can’t help it, and it feels good to love you. "
77 " it seems I’ve gone my whole life without experiencing this feeling, but now that I have, it’s as if part of me disappears when the feeling disappears. "
78 " You're the first person in this world I've ever loved without some reasoning or justification behind it. I just love you because I can't help it, and it feels good to love you...I'm confident that I'll never spend a single second of my life regretting you. "
79 " I like how I feel when I’m with him. And I’m not positive, but I think he likes how I make him feel. Neither of us has stopped smiling. "
80 " I still feel all the comforts of childhood when I’m sick and my mother takes care of me. "
