Maybe Jess was caught up with these ridiculous, impossible ideas because it meant she never had to try for something real.

About This Quote

A quote that sums up what Jess had to deal with. Jess was caught up in these silly ideas about love, but she never really had to deal with the real thing. She never had to make a choice between her boyfriend and the job she loves. She never had to search for work she really wanted instead of settling for something she wasn’t passionate about. Instead of looking at the bright side of getting fired, she saw it as an opportunity to do something she was passionate about.
