“ You’re still stuck on the same part you were stuck on at seven.”
“What part is that?”
“The part where you need to choose among the choices that are there, and not the ones that aren’t anymore. At least not how you need them to be. You’re still stuck on some imaginary idea you have of how it could have been. You need to think about how it is now. And how you want it to be. ”
London is the Best City in America by Laura Dave. Just finished reading it this morning. This quote particularly reminded me of myself. My ex used to accuse me of living in the past. I don’t anymore but I do hang onto a lot of things that I shouldn’t, a lot of people that really have no business being in my life anymore, just because I’m ultimately too afraid to just…let go.
About me
I live for politics, books, shopping, working out and my friends. I adore anything pink, anything green and a cute pair of shoes. I work hard and play harder. I aspire to be a novelist (working on a manuscript!), a politician and make change in the world. I'm an idealist. I own a cute puppy and live with my fiancé in our nation's capitol. My mantra? "You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl." True that :)
