Drown Quote by K.M. Simpson
““If I allowed myself to drown in the flood every time it rained, I would have never learned to swim. If I allowed myself to stay broken, then I’d still be fragile. If I held on to that hurt, then I'd still be wounded — I would be bleeding on people who didn't deserve to be soiled by my grief. I refuse to spread my hurt. I refuse to let this world make me ugly.””
