Close your eyes Quote by Dominique Strickland
“One thing in life. You have to stand up and stay strong even when you have every right to want to break down. Even if it means blocking out the world to hold your head high. You have to expect the unexpected and take everything in stride. When your heart feel heavy as stone, and you want to be tossed into a river and drown, take a step back, and remember all that you want. Close your eyes and see that promising dream, and just hope it becomes reality.”
