“There were days when they were young when I begged for a minute of peace, a minute to breathe, or shower, or think…but this was worse. Back then, I had no idea how much peace I’d have one day all too soon.”

“There is beauty to be found in the dark, just as there is horror within the light.”

“You are going to get very confused about who’s really the hero and who’s really the villain of the story, and that’s what I want. To show you that no matter what we look like, act like, have, accomplish, where we live, where we come from, etc., it’s up to us to decide who we want to be, not what the world thinks we should be. XOXO, Jeneane”
― Jeneane O'Riley, What Did You Do?
