Life Quote by Bakare
“Sometimes, it is OK to break down. Sometimes, its OK to cry on the floor of the shower, or in the middle of a parking lot at 3am. Sometimes, it is OK to throw rocks. It's not OK to take your pain and anger out on anyone. It's not OK to neglect yourself, family and life because you are hurting. And it's not OK to hurt people because you are hurting. Pick yourself up and dust yourself off. Lesser people then you have gone through more than this.”
