Confide Quote by Kinitra Brooks
““Shame is a magnificent isolator, too. It doesn’t allow you to confide in friends. You explain yourself by saying you can handle it yourself. But in reality, “handling it” would mean you’d have to stop hiding the truth from yourself. You have to acknowledge that once again, you’ve allowed yourself to be used, that you gave up that special part of you. That’s””
