“Some days it's hard not to feel used and spat out in this world.”
―
Natalie Barelli,
Unfaithful
“am inconsolable, wretched, heartbroken that my very dear friend Beatrice is dead. Which is kind of odd considering I’m the one who killed her.” ― Natalie Barelli, Until I Met Her
“So, there you go, when people make snide comments at you, criticize your choices, are always quick to judge, maybe it’s not you they resent, maybe they’re just scared.” ― Natalie Barelli, The Accident
“There’s a particular kind of grief that takes hold when a friendship dies. When your best friend, someone you trusted to love you, turns out to be your enemy. It’s as if one of the anchors that grounds you in this world has come undone. I sure hope there’s a special kind of hell for people like that.” ― Natalie Barelli, The Loyal Wife
“ideas have been known to hop from head to head until they find a willing host.” ― Natalie Barelli, Unfaithful
“but the question still remains. What does it take for a person to persist from one time to another—to continue existing rather than cease to exist? Once upon a time I would have said loathing. That’s how you keep someone alive. You keep them in your head and you hate them till you can’t stand it anymore and still you gnaw at them and watch them grow. But now I don’t know, and I don’t care. I’m done with all that. I’m blessed with the people I love. I’m one of the lucky ones.” ― Natalie Barelli, The Housekeeper
“dehydrated,” ― Natalie Barelli, Missing Molly
“gaggle of Barmbies.” ― Natalie Barelli, Unfaithful
“Every day I say something like, If you don’t have time, I can get the plumber in, and every day he assures me that’s a waste of money and he’ll do it himself.” ― Natalie Barelli, Unfaithful
“Don’t give in to doubt. You need to push through it to see what’s around the corner, otherwise how will you know?” ― Natalie Barelli, Until I Met Her
“few days” ― Natalie Barelli, The Housekeeper
“Clearly, the only way to deal with this new reality is to go along with it.” ― Natalie Barelli, The Housekeeper
“I am so overwhelmed with love for them that it makes my eyes swim. I will never stop striving to keep my family together. It’s what courses through my veins, this craving to be everything that my mother wasn’t, to keep my children safe, and happy. My kids will never grow up thinking they’re unloved, or unwanted, or not enough for either of their parents.” ― Natalie Barelli, Unfaithful
“I sat in my car, shaking, and to this day, I’m not sure why I did what I did. Actually, that’s not true. I wanted to protect him. Or that’s what I told myself afterwards. For a long time afterwards in fact. But I know now, that I wanted to protect what I had. I didn’t want to give it up. My marriage, this life, my place in it” ― Natalie Barelli, The Loyal Wife
“That’s what makes us the best of friends, I’ve realized. You can have strong, divergent opinions on things, but it takes nothing away from how much you love each other.” ― Natalie Barelli, After He Killed Me
“and” ― Natalie Barelli, Missing Molly
“There’s a particular kind of grief that takes hold when a friendship dies. When your best friend, someone you trusted to love you, turns out to be your enemy.” ― Natalie Barelli, The Loyal Wife
“Sometimes, when I take the time to think about it, which admittedly isn’t often, I do think I’m strange.” ― Natalie Barelli, The Housekeeper
“This fear, it’s weighing me down every minute, every second. And fear has friends, too, called Guilt and Shame. They’re like a crew, the three of them. They hang out together, causing mayhem inside my head.” ― Natalie Barelli, The Accident
