Real love is more than a one-time, seemingly iron-clad pledge that we will never be apart. If you're over 20, you've probably figured out that meaningful love isn't constricting; it doesn't chain you to one place or to each other.
Quote by -Faith Salie
No longer is a geek identifiable by a pale complexion, black-rimmed glasses, a bowling shirt that says 'Nerd World Order.' No, geeks are everywhere. And they're cool!
Quote by -Faith Salie
I admit I feel funny when I use the word 'whom' as I'm talking to my diapered children, but I persist.
Quote by -Faith Salie
I don't think, in my entire 18 years as a student, I ever used an exclamation point in an academic paper.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Boys have always known they could do anything; all they had to do was look around at their presidents, religious leaders, professional athletes, at the statues that stand erect in big cities and small. Girls have always known they were allowed to feel anything - except anger.
Quote by -Faith Salie
The t-shirts that declare 'Girls Rule the World' offer an empirical falsehood, but at least the aspiration is there.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Hours after I gave birth to my first child, my husband cradled all five pounds of our boy and said, gently, 'Hi, Sweetpea.' Not 'Buddy' or 'Little Man.' Sweetpea. The word filled me with unanticipated comfort.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Are we a people who put politics over integrity? Or are we a country of voters and leaders, men and women, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, colleagues, humans who care about treating each other with basic dignity?
Quote by -Faith Salie
People who champion Trump say they don't want politics-as-usual. But 'politic' is also an adjective. It means 'tactful and diplomatic.' It's necessary for an elected official to be politic.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Making fun of people's looks is something that children do - mean children - and, in fact, linguists have determined that Trump actually speaks like a 3rd grader.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Donald Trump, who surely has lots of high-stakes issues on which to focus, is consumed with the appearance of women.
Quote by -Faith Salie
I spent my late twenties and all of my thirties figuring out what I was supposed to be doing and where my home was.
Quote by -Faith Salie
If you want to become a mother, you can. I promise. It may not happen the way you think, but it's possible. It just takes a combination of a little planning and a lot of living your life.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Getting a pedicure seems to be a standard pre-birth ritual, presumably because it is relaxing and makes you feel pretty even though your little piggies are going to be covered in those awesome no-skid hospital socks which I kept on for three days.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Whether you plan to labor with an epidural or the Pitocin Fairy pins you down or you end up having an emergency C-section, there are still choices you can make throughout your entire birth experience that allow you to feel some control over what is probably the most dramatic day of your life.
Quote by -Faith Salie
I have no problem being full-term pregnant and do not understand women who say, 'I can't wait to get this baby out of me!'
Quote by -Faith Salie
Divorce court seemed to inspire in my girlfriends 1940s-era fashion fantasies, not only for me, but for themselves.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Whenever I told women - friends or acquaintances - that I had to go to divorce court, they'd invariably, without skipping a beat, ask, 'What are you going to wear?' It was like instant female solidarity: of course it mattered what I was going to wear.
Quote by -Faith Salie
For weeks I ran through a mental inventory of my closet. Did I want to wear something new - to christen it and forever make it The Divorce Dress?
Quote by -Faith Salie
Approval makes the world go round, even if many of us want to transcend our hunger for it.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Famous people I've interviewed - powerful people, brilliant people, people whom you look at and think, 'Seriously, do you not have pores?' - have turned to me after interviews and asked, 'Was I okay? I hope I was okay.'
Quote by -Faith Salie
Having grown up Catholic, my prayers were scripted - memorized and deployed in church and before bed. As a young adult, I veered off script and talked to God more plainly. And by 'talked to,' I mean that I basically asked for things to turn out the way I wanted them to.
Quote by -Faith Salie
I once accidentally 'replied all' and sent an email complaining about my then-boyfriend to a bunch of strangers. It was meant for my friend who was a bride, but I ended up addressing her entire wedding party. Her marriage lasted; my relationship didn't.
Quote by -Faith Salie
If I could have had my baby sooner, I would have, simply to spend more years with him.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Mothers of all ages delight in their children, but I don't know that, if I were younger, I would feel as acutely, profoundly, preciously grateful for every smile, squeal, and - yes - diaper blowout.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Despite amazing advances in fertility to help older women get pregnant, the complications, increased chances of autism, and chromosomal abnormalities are significant considerations.
Quote by -Faith Salie
To my knowledge, there are, pretty much, two ways to be interesting: One is to actually do interesting things, achieve the remarkable. The other way to be interesting is to be interested, curious about the world and about other people - not relentlessly revelatory about yourself.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Not that I'm any good at it, but the beauty of meditation is that it liberates us from our own thoughts.
Quote by -Faith Salie
One man's content is another woman's crap. And the crappy content - let's call it crontent - will never go away.
Quote by -Faith Salie
I think the curation consternation is this: Just because you like something or list something, are you really curating?
Quote by -Faith Salie
Social media provides a constant platform on which to feature what we deem beautiful, meaningful, and worthy.
Quote by -Faith Salie
If you don't know what mansplaining is, or manterrupting or manspread, then you're probably a guy.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Manspread, mansplaining, manterrupting - all of it, whether conscious or not, diminishes women's voices, minds, and bodies.
Quote by -Faith Salie
I remember my mom sitting at our kitchen table, paying bills with a small smile. She'd sigh and say, 'I'm so blessed to be able to pay these.' She knew it was about what you have.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Mother's Day is a bittersweet day for many of us. We all have mothers, but some of us have lost them.
Quote by -Faith Salie
Contrary to the negative stereotype that folks who swear have poor vocabularies, a fluency in taboo language correlates with overall verbal fluency. The more words you know, the more you know... and the more colorfully you can express yourself, with nuance, metaphor, and emotion.
