Supressing Feelings Quotes

“And I don’t even know when my days start or end, heartsick babe in arms, waiting for an appointment with the cardiologist, waiting for her next breath, waiting to read some epiphany about attachment in the books that I’m burning the midnight oil to read.

Keep burying how you feel and you'll end up digging your relationships a pretty big grave. If you don’t speak your fears and questions aloud, they only grow louder in your soul.”
― Ann Voskamp, WayMaker: Finding the Way to the Life You’ve Always Dreamed Of
