Quotes by Jennifer Longo (?)

“Home is just a soft place to land in between adventures, or trouble, or what the hell ever. It’s a harbor, not an anchor. Be brave, see the world, every forest and mountain, and know you always have a safe place to rest and come back to.”
― Jennifer Longo, What I Carry

“Adopted is not an adjective,” he said. “Joellen says that. It’s an event that happens, not who you are. As an adjective it implies inherent bullshit about a person that isn’t true. A person is not ‘adopted.’ They were adopted. Words matter.”
― Jennifer Longo, What I Carry

“Don't ever not get angry. You've got every right. No reason to hold on to it forever of course, just always give anger it's due. Let it show sometimes. Respect it.”
