Angry Quote by Elizabeth Finn
““If you need to fall apart, then do it. If you want to be angry, then yell at me.” She shook her head. “I know it’s been a shit day for you, and I’m sorry that you have to…to see my old life, but this is my life now. Please don’t be upset about this.” “I’m not.” She wasn’t. And at the same time,she was. She didn’t have a clue what she was supposed to feel anymore. “Then don’t shut down on me now. Don’t walk away””
