Kati Wilde
“My mom taught Stone and me a long time ago that “How are you?” can be one of the most unintentionally cruel questions to ask someone who is grieving. Sure, it stems from concern about that person. But it can place a burden on them, too—the burden of reassuring the other person that they’re fine. The burden of lying if they’re not. The burden of pretending the question doesn’t hurt even though every emotion is raw and exposed.”
Kati Wilde, Breaking It All

“After all, why bring somebody pain when it's so easy to bring joy instead?”
Zidrou, Lydie
