Quotes by D.A. Smith (?)

“[T]here isn't anything worth losing your mind for. And if things become too complicated or too stressful—let it go. I don’t care if it’s a job, a woman, man, child or beast—if it’s too much for you and it’s causing you too much pressure to the point where you are thinking about committing suicide? Let it go.”
― D. A. Smith
