Fall Quote by Autumn Doughton

“Try, but not too hard. Go, but not too far. Jump, but wear a parachute to stop your fall. Is that how life goes? Is there a secret formula? Or is every turn, every choice, going to be blocked by a messy jumble of rights and wrongs, bald hurts and happiness, risks and shimmering possibilities?” quote by Autumn Doughton
