“It’s Mortifying To Be The One Who Remembers.”

“Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just… start.”

— Ijeoma Umebinyuo

I will keep it safe.”

“He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.. [BR] and when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”
