Quotes:

“You don't find your soulmate overnight. You work on your soulmate.” - Jamey Heath 

"We want to advance society, advance humanity. We want to be better versions of ourselves so that our children or our grandchildren and future generations can be a little bit further along than we were." - Jamey Heath 

“I think that I have an unrealistic ideal of what a happy, healthy relationship is. And that means that you maybe leave relationships earlier than you should.” - Liz Plank

“I think any relationship is a success. Even a divorce is a success. You were in a successful relationship for this amount of years. How wonderful.” - Liz Plank
