1 " At some point there’s a shift and the firsts are no longer important. It’s no longer about finding someone to share all of your firsts with, it’s about who you want to be there for all of your lasts. Or your forevers. Because choosing, or being chosen to be that person – that is the real honour. "
― Giovanna Fletcher , Walking On Sunshine
2 " the things that have been holding me inside what has felt like an isolating, lonely prison, suddenly seem much more bearable now I’ve spoken about them. "
3 " Maybe we’re all meant to unravel every so often to take stock of where life has taken us and try to rebuild "
4 " I would now argue that to be told ‘you’ve changed’ should be seen as one of life’s better compliments. "
5 " to step away from your life to just be for a period of time, whether that is for a weekend, a week, a month or a year, is always beneficial, because it’s about stepping outside of the fire. When you’re in it you have no idea of the scale of it, or how to tackle it – but by removing yourself you get a different perspective. "
6 " I like things, and I don’t think that necessarily makes me a bad person. "
7 " I know makeup and all the luxury I enjoy is frivolous, fun and indulgent – it’s not a necessity when you look at life’s bigger picture. However, it can also bring joy and make individuals feel great. I’m aware we don’t need to wear makeup all the time and that finding confidence in our skin is the ultimate dream, but when we feel depleted and spent it’s nice knowing there’s a way of giving a little boost when it’s needed. "
8 " Years ago I found myself wondering, ‘Is this it?’, but now I realize that no one moment is ever it. The world keeps turning, life keeps going, deaths occur, babies are born, hearts are broken and mended again. Life happens and there’s nothing you can do to stop it rolling once it starts. "
9 " It’s never enough to say you’re sorry for the loss without feeling like you have to remove the pain or sorrow somehow. The truth is we all know we can’t. That empty void of loss cannot be filled, no matter how many well-meaning gestures are thrown into it. "
