The Summer Seekers

Katie Thyer

Nothing is more important than the people you love.

Life can't always be fun. There's a lesson right there. A good life is a balance between doing what you have to do and what you want to do.

We need to make time for the things that are important to us.

People are allowed to change their minds.

Regret achieves nothing, and it isn't even valid because looking back with distance, isn't the same as looking forward when you’re close up. 

Kindness isn't weakness. Kindness is a quality that is often underrated.

Mother and daughter relationship can be the most important yet difficult relationship to maintain. I am not saying that it cannot be managed but it is tricky to maintain over the years especially in Kathleen and Liza's case. Kathleen and Liza have maintained a frosty mother-daughter relationship since forever. Kathleen has always been an adventure traveler that she made it as her career. She has gone to different places throughout the years that made her independent and fierce, but yet it left her with a troubling relationship with her daughter, Liza. It makes you wonder if Liza has ever resented her mother leaving throughout the years all the times. And it's something Kathleen has wondered when she starts a brand new adventure. Liza may not have said it but she does regret her cold relationship with her mother. And she definitely needs her mother even more when she is having doubts in her marriage. It is okay to have doubts in your marriage. No marriage is ever perfect. Sometimes, you just need space to think. And that's what Liza is going to do. It may not have been planned but it was much needed. She will discover what is missing in her life and her marriage as well. Life can be uncertain at times but it does provide surprises especially in Kathleen and Liza's case.
