Fear Quote by Thomm Quackenbush

“I tried turning my back on all this, but it is inside me. Like when I was little and you read me that story of the girl who hated footprints and shadows, so she tried to run away from both. But her shadow was always there, and she only made more footprints by running.” quote by Thomm Quackenbush — Download Open image
