“One of the biggest challenges you face as you get older as a single person is resisting cynicism. It's so, so hard not to feel betrayed and let down by love and turn that into nihilism, skepticism, or anger. But cynicism, while funny and self-protecting, is very easy. Finding trust, sustaining hope— that's the real art form.” — Dolly Alderton
