Boiling Quote by Jennifer Lopez

“We as human beings do this thing where we stuff down our feelings until they find a way to manifest themselves. We try to avoid them until there's no more room and they come bubbling up like a pot of boiling-hot water that overflows. And when it does, it burns.” quote by Jennifer Lopez
