I was silent as a child, and silenced as a young woman; I am taking my lumps and bumps for being a big mouth, now, but usually from those whose opinion I don’t respect Picture Quote #1

The stories are what no one wants to talk about. So you make up a story because no one is going to tell you the truth Picture Quote #1
