“To love and not be loved; is to die and not be dead”
Jerry Darroch

“Its just human nature. People forget past and only care about their present and don't think what will happen in future...”
Taimoor Madni

Cassandra Clare
“There was no point in wallowing. Magnus refused to
wallow. Wallowing was for elephants, depressing people, and depressing elephants.”
Cassandra Clare, What Really Happened in Peru

However, you are not alone. Generations of women in your family have chosen. Women around the world have chosen. We all have chosen at one time in our lives. We stand behind you now screaming:

Choose to let go.
Choose dignity.
Choose to forgive yourself.
Choose to forgive others.
Choose to see your value.
Choose to show the world you’re not a victim.
Choose to make us proud.”
Shannon L. Alder

“Please… Whoever you are, whatever you are… I believe in you even though I don’t completely understand you. I feel you around me even though I can’t exactly describe what I’m feeling. Sometimes things happen to me and I know that you’re there and I’m humbled by the lack of coincidence that exists in the world. Whatever you want from me, it’s yours — just please help me. You know how I get when I lose control, and I find myself constantly being pulled back there these days.”
Jennifer Elisabeth, Born Ready: Unleash Your Inner Dream Girl
