“[...] just remember, the storm doesn't last forever. It can scare you; it can shake you to your core. But it never lasts. The rain subsides, the thunder dies, and the winds calm to a soft whisper. And that moment after the storm clouds pass, when all is silent and still, you find peace. Quiet, gentle peace.”
― S.L. Jennings, Fear of Falling

“You've always been what you are. That's not new. What you'll get used to is knowing it.”
