Quote by Shaye Madison

“I had to remind myself, often it seemed, that the pain, the aches, the bruises--they all meant I was alive. A racing heart, pounding against my rib cage; the drowsiness of drunkenness; the tears that came from remembering, the stolen breaths, the crushing weight pushing me down. They all meant I was alive.”
