“You tread lightly through life, but you leave deep footprints that are hard for other people to fill.”

Josie Silver,
One Day in December
“There comes a point where you have to make the choice to be happy, because being sad for too long is exhausting.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“Sometimes you just meet the right person at the wrong time,” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“There’s something about living in a different place that allows you to be whoever you want to be.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“I’m not a bitch though; or maybe I’m just a quiet one inside my own head. Isn’t everyone?” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“Despite the fairy-tale snowstorm out there, this isn’t Narnia. This is London, real life, where hearts get kicked and bruised and broken, but somehow they still keep beating.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“That's the thing about flowers, isn't it? They're lush and extravagant and demand your attention, and you think they're the most exquisite thing, but then in the shortest time they're not very lovely at all. They wilt and they turn the water brown, and soon you can't hold on to them any longer.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“I know how painful it can be letting someone you think you love go, but that I don’t believe there’s only one person in the world for each of us. It’s too fanciful, too limiting.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“If anyone ever asks if I've ever fallen in love at first sight, I shall say yes. For one glorious moment on the 21st of December 2006.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“Billions of humans, all of us scurrying around the planet, falling in and out of love with each other for no reason explicable by logic or numbers or common sense. How unaccountably strange we are.” ― Josie Silver, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird
“It’s strange, but you never stop caring about someone, even if you don’t want to be with them any more.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“The human brain is wired to cope with grief. It knows even as we fall into unfathomably dark places, there will be light again, and if we just keep moving forward in one brave straight line, however slowly, we’ll find our way back again.” ― Josie Silver, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird
“We are a triangle, but our sides have kept changing length. Nothing has ever quite been equal. Perhaps it’s time to learn how to stand on our own, rather than lean on each other.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“I found the old me, still in here, and the new me sitting right alongside her. We made friends.” ― Josie Silver, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird
“I’ve learned not to question my own actions and thoughts too deeply though, sometimes you just have to go with whatever gets you through the day.” ― Josie Silver, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird
“told him that there comes a point where you have to make the choice to be happy, because being sad for too long is exhausting. And that one day, you’ll look back, and you’ll not be able to remember exactly what it was you loved about that person.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“MOST OF LIFE’S defining moments happen unexpectedly; sometimes they slide past you completely unnoticed until afterward, if at all. The last time your child is small enough to carry on your hip. An eye roll exchanged with a stranger who becomes your life-long best friend. The summer job you apply for on impulse and stay at for the next twenty years. Those kinds of things.” ― Josie Silver, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird
“into the woman you are today, someone with such incredible poise, someone spectacularly kind; you have a way of making every single person feel like the most important person in the world.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
“We sit there for a while longer, huddled together, watching as the first flakes of snow drift down from the midnight sky. There are no rings to give back, no possessions to tussle over, no kids to hand over in blustery car parks. Just two people, about to part ways.” ― Josie Silver, One Day in December
