Quotable Quotes:
“We owe ourselves to be honest and open to our fears.”
“Even when you don't feel, just try to rise above the pain by giving that smile. You can get lost or consumed in your pain or even get stuck. You don't have to stay there at all. Always encourage press through. You are an overcomer; loneliness can cause long-term pitfalls like bad decision-making. And you know what? It can also have an effect on your mental well being.”
“Loneliness is not a sin, or even something to be ashamed of. All humans have these emotions sometimes. But we each deal with them differently. We deal with them in different ways. Don't let it creep into your system to allow you to shy away from reaching out for some help.”
