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

“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.”
Jennifer Longo, What I Carry
