...love is the sum of our choices, the strength of our commitments, the ties that bind us together.

I write about relationships and I try to create real-life characters.

You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.

This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty. So when the whole thing spills, you aren’t as devastated.

How different this moment feels, for so many reasons. I tell myself that no two loves are identical - but that I don't have to compare anymore.

Inevitably I draw on my own relationships when I write, so if I'm writing about a fight between a husband and his wife, of course I'm going to think about a recent fight with my husband. Or if I'm writing about sisters, of course I'm going to think about my sister.

We both have a lot of growing-up to do... A lot of the world to see & figure out on our own." -- Leo
