Fashion Quote by Rebecca Lombardo
““It’s like I’ve said before, you can’t possibly walk a mile in my shoes, or anyone else’s. They don’t fit, and you would be bitching to get them off in about a minute and a half, so don’t even try. Just be there to understand, and maybe once in a while check in and see how that person is doing. None of us is asking you to fix it. We just want to be understood.””
