About This Quote

When a person feels as though they will never be loved or accepted because of their past, they can feel as though they are already dead. The world around them may not be the best place to live but for those people who feel as though they will never be loved or accepted by anyone, there is nothing left to take from them. Their only goal is to be enveloped, welcomed, into the earth - to breathe no more, love no more, hurt no more.
