Abuse Quote by Anonymous
“Much of our hearts are not controlled by ourselves, but instead by what other people do or say, how they are or will be. Everything we feel lies in the hands of others, that's why it hurts so much sometimes, because you didn't cause yourself the pain, so you can't stop it.”
