Breathe Quote by Stella Rhys
““I let myself go. Because the deeper in sank into Sara, the more I could breathe – the more I actually wanted to breathe. For so long, I hadn’t minded that suffocating weight in my chest. It was just something I carried with me every day, and I accepted it. it kept me accustomed to pain. But now that I knew what lightness felt like, it was all I ever wanted. It felt better than anything I knew. And I was pretty sure I could never go back.””
