Challenge Quote by Ces Peta

“When you are on denial, it feels like the world just pushed you down in a quagmire. Getting over is like running around in the wilderness, desperately looking for an exit. Letting go is like hoping for a hand to reach you out and help you raise from the ground.” quote by Ces Peta
