Quotes from Karyn Bosnak

her bag, I apologize to Wade. "Sorry." "No problem," he says. "She must be freaked out by the Muppets." "Yeah," I nod. And she's not the only one. Wade motions to the empty spot next to him on the couch, directly underneath

What are you looking for?" Wade asks, seeing me peer under his couch. "Huh?" I turn back to him. "Oh, uh…I'm just checking out the rest of the place." I suddenly feel Eva rustle around in her bag. When I look down, she peeks out at me with sleepy eyes and then lazily glances over at Wade. When she sees the Muppets hanging on the wall behind him, she cocks her head

Eva, no," I say, trying to quiet her down, but she doesn't listen. Within seconds she breaks into a barking fit and won't let up. The only way I can get her to stop is to turn the bag away from

Most of the shows I do are held at the local playhouses," Wade explains as he reaches up to take an old man Muppet off the wall. He begins to play with it. "But the last one I did—my personal favorite—was held at a church not far from here. Called Equestrians for Christ, it was a modern-day reenactment of the crucifixion. Basically

turn around and look up and, low and behold, see Jesus in Muppet form, hanging from a wooden stick. Once again. Poor Jesus. "But truth be told," Wade continues, looking back at me, "non-religious people didn't respond to the theme, so I canceled the show, and well…" Wade hesitates, like he's afraid to continue.

There, that's better. That should get him talking. But it doesn't. As more time

When you are really in love, when it's the right guy, it's not this hard. Things fall into place; they work. If it's meant to be, it'll work itself out.

To everyone who's ever second-guessed a decision they've made, our past makes us who we are. Have no regrets.

Everything you do in life, whether it's good or bad, makes you who you are. Don't maybe your decisions to death because you can't change them.

Listen, my timing might be bad, but my intentions are good.

I don't care that I'm taking a chance. I don't care that I may get my heart broken. If I don't at least give this a chance, I'll never be able to live with myself. I love this. I love this because it's funny. I love this because it's silly. I love him, I love him, I love him! And just like that...my heart goes boom.

Just because someone came back for you is no reason to be with them. Just because someone loves you is no reason to love them back.

I'm bad at relationships--I'm not gonna lie. And maybe you and I would be a mistake, but maybe we wouldn't. All I know is that if we don't try, we'll never know.

He's a wonderful person and I'd fall head over heels in love with him if I haven't already, there's no doubt about it. And there's no doubt that he'd eventually leave me. There's no way anything between us would go somewhere. I'm done with flings. I want the next thing--the real thing.

I don't have a list or anything. I just haven't met that person that I want to hold a boom box up for yet.

But if you're going to think about your past, rather than dwell on the reasons you shouldn't have done something, remember the reasons you did. I mean, everything we do in life has some element of right and wrong to it.

Do you ever think you're being an idealist? Do you ever wonder if you're holding out for something that doesn't exist? I'm not being pessimistic, and although I'd like to believe that a boom or we or us exists, I'm not sure I do anymore. Maybe I've been holding out for something that's unrealistic.

There are the choices that we make and the consequences, that's all.

Life is funny; it really is.

My grandpa calls that the boom. He says it's different from love or lust; it's deeper. it's a feeling that hits you hard when you have a real connection with someone.

My grandpa has always told us that you know you're in love when your heart goes "boom." The way he explained this "boom" is that it's not the giddy feeling you get when you first meet someone; it's deeper than that. It's more of a low, bellowing boom that resonates in your body the moment you realize you need someone, you love someone. It's more a boooom than a boom! I have yet to feel it.

I meant just because someone came back for you is no reason to be with them; just because someone loves you is no reason to love them back.
