Depressed Quote by Richelle E. Goodrich

“It is not wrong to feel sorry for yourself. Just like it is not wrong to sit in a puddle of water while the rain pours down on your head. But neither is productive, unless you enjoy feeling cold and miserable and soggy while mascara runs down your face.” quote by Richelle E. Goodrich
