About This Quote

The chaos of their voices registers as a single, overwhelming force cutting off her ability to reason, and all she wants is to get as far away from people as possible. The chaos of their voices is how the world makes us feel. We are bombarded with messages every day where the only thing we hear is what is wrong with us. Instead of hearing how strong we are, we are told that we are weak and need help.

Instead of hearing that there are people out there who care about us, we are told that no one cares or wants to know about us. Instead of hearing how special we are, we are told that no one else will love us like them. Instead of hearing that there is light at the end of the tunnel, we are told there is no way out.

It’s all so much noise!
