QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Then, she began to breathe,

and live, and every moment

took her to a place where goodbyes were hard to come by.

She was in love, but not in love with someone or something,

she was in love with her life.

And for the first time, in a long time,

everything was inspiring.”

–R.M. DRAKE
