This is our skin and nobody has the right to crumple us…

“This is our skin and nobody has the right to crumple us like a paper only to find another skin to write on, and then another, ruining people like they’re pages, like they are somehow replaceable. Because that will only leave our delicate and fragile selves into a tattered mess.” quote by Heema Shirvaikar
