Every step Quote by Tatyana Sumakova
““Life is like taking a swim in the ocean, you never really know what to expect when you dive in. the worst part is, it doesn't matter how you get into the water. Weather you dive in head first, or take every step with caution. when the tidal wave hits you like a ton of bricks, it's up to you to decide if your going to let that wave suck you in, or if your going to fight till you feel the reassuring worm sand beneath your feet. like that wave, life will not give up the fight, so why should we just let it win.””
