Best friend Quote by Anonymous
“Take your razors and go into your bathroom, and take all of your clothes off. Then stand up and look in the mirror. Just look for a second, even if you hate what you see. Now imagine yourself covered in scratches, cuts, scars and gashes. Imagine yourself months from now, struggling to hide your body. Now back to normal. Which do you prefer? Exactly. Now put the razors down, call your best friend and your significant other and tell them you love them. Don't ever touch that razor again.”
