Quotes by Caylin Louis Moore (?)

“Today my father still sits [in] prison. But what about all of us in our own prisons? For many of us, that's what we choose. There might not be metal bars or orange jumpsuits, but we keep ourselves locked in the prison of other people's expectations.

We stay in our prisons because they're comfortable and don't challenge us.”
