Doing things Quote by Ethel Cain
“I love doing things for people. I'm not really good at telling people that I love them, but I love doing things or giving gifts. It feels good doing things for people that make me happy and feel loved and appreciated. And then if they're like 'Oh my god, thank you so much!' I'm like 'Shh! Be quiet!'”
