Doing things Quote by Devon Herrera
““Come on Nina, you can’t avoid doing things just because you’re afraid you will get hurt.” “I’ll fall. I always fall and I don’t do it gracefully. I land hard and I usually break something. I’m a walking disaster just waiting to happen. Don’t you understand?” “I understand Nina, but this time it’s different.” “Why? How could this time possibly be any different than the others?” “It’s different, because this time I’m here to catch you.””
