“She'd been taking care of others for so long that she scarcely recognized herself when she looked in the mirror.” LoveLifePoetryCompassionWomanTaking Care Of Others Book:Abandoned Breaths Source: Abandoned Breaths
“Just because she doesn't talk about it, doesn't mean she isn't feeling it. She hurts, but she won't wear it on her sleeve. She will never let an illness, a diagnosis, or a prediction, define her. She doesn't want sympathy, because that type of attention is not her goal. She'd rather you see the woman who smiles in the face of adversity, than be the one who begs you to see her frown.” PoetryHurtAdversityWomanSympathy Book:Abandoned Breaths Source: Abandoned Breaths
