Cheyenne-mccray Quote by Cheyenne McCray

“She knew she couldn’t escape unscathed, and the trauma would take her a long time to get past. And she might never fully heal mentally. There was no denying the fact, though, that everything had changed for her. To know what to expect wasn’t the same as actually living it.” quote by Cheyenne McCray
