Attitude Quote by Anonymous
“Don't tell me not to cry. Not this time, don't tell me to stop my tears, just let me get them out. And if that means crying till I'm sick and gasping and surrounded with a mountain of tissues, so be it. You might not realize it, but maybe that's what I need right now. Not to have my tears stopped, but to be given the freedom to finally let them out.”
