And that's why I don't get to cry, I guess. Because they do. Because we're older but we're not the grown-ups who seem too far away to understand. I tuck that thought inside me, warm and small like balled hands inside hoodie pockets. Beneath the beech trees and sugar maples, feet crunching against dead leaves, I hope for strength. Because as much as I want to be the one crying, I want to be the kind of person someone can hold onto. Emery Lord
About This Quote

I want to be the kind of person who is strong enough to put on the sad face even when they don't feel like it. I want to be the kind of person who can listen to my heart and still not cry. I want to be the kind of person who is strong enough to not let her emotions get in the way of what she wants. I want to be the kind of person who doesn't feel like crying because I know that someone else will hold me when I need it.
