Self-Love
People think they know you. They think they know how you’re handling a situation. But the truth is no one knows. No one knows what happens after you leave them, when you’re lying in bed or sitting over your breakfast alone and all you want to do is cry or scream. They don’t know what’s going on inside your head - the mind-numbing cocktail of anger and sadness and guilt. This isn’t their fault. They just don’t know. And so they pretend and they say you’re doing great when you’re really not. And this makes everyone feel better. Everybody but you.— William H. Woodwell Jr

Why This Quote Matters
There is more inside this quote than a single read shows. Slow down on the part about breakfast. That is usually where the useful thing is.
Pin it somewhere visible for a week. The repetition of seeing it daily does something that a single read cannot.
A quiet moment with a good quote is never wasted time.
