“So what if you were a follower? Or a coward? So the fuck what? Weren’t we all something else other than who and what we are today? Everything in our lives shapes us into who’s standing here now. Not just the good shit but the bad, too. The shit we’re proud of and the things we don’t even like to think of, much less talk about.”
― Naima Simone, Church Girl

“I was loud. I had thoughts and opinions of my own. I would not be silenced, especially not by a man.”

“Vengeance, though, replaced the blood in my veins, and no one would be spared. The world wasn’t safe until I emptied the arteries of all those involved.”
― K.C. Mills, You Could Do Damage

“When you cheat, it isn’t just betraying your partner. It’s saying fuck you to your relationship, your family. It’s stealing time from not just the person you married but from your kids, your extended relatives. It’s jeopardizing your world, not just your marriage. It’s saying getting a nut is more important than other people’s hearts, other people’s emotional pain, their security.”
― Naima Simone, Church Girl
