About This Quote
The truth is what I cherish and that's my strength. From the moment I wake up until the moment I fall asleep, I live thinking of what I've done wrong. If I had done everything that was expected of me then maybe, just maybe, I would be happy. That makes me sad, because it's not how I planned my life.
The truth is what I treasure and it's my strength. When everyone else is telling me to be sad, I know better than to listen to them. Instead, when they are telling me to stay on the ground or to get up and run away, I look at them and say "the truth is all that matters."
