Quote by Angela N. Blount

“I didn't just love him…I needed him. Not in some desperate "you complete me" sort of way. No, Vincent didn’t make me whole. He improved me. Something about him—something I didn't understand—had a way of amplifying the good in my nature while muting the bad. He was a catalyst for my soul. I didn't need him in order to exist...I needed him in order to be a better me.”

“What I don’t realize is that I am battling with pain. I have not yet found a way to navigate my way around it. It’s just there, living in my mind and heart. I don’t know what to do with pain, and I keep talking about it, hoping it leaves someday.”

“It may feel terrifying to experience the shame and fear of rejection, but it is also a liberating moment. It is a moment where you allow yourself to feel every inch of pain that you avoided by building these crumbling walls. It’s the pain we were supposed to feel and let go, finally leaving our bodies.”

“Why then, for so long, have humans just assumed -- or perhaps hoped -- that fish feel no pain and are essentially mindless? Balcombe thinks the problem is our inability to read their expressions or emotions. There's no sympathy trigger. 'We hear no screams and see no tears when their mouths are impaled and their bodies pulled from the water,' he writes. 'Their unblinking eyes -- constantly bathed in water and thus in no need of lids --amplify the illusion that they feel nothing.' Many do in fact vocalize when they are in pain, but the sound is designed to be heard under water, and we can't hear it.”
