The Body Painter Quotes

“I believed strength, true strength, came from seeing past someone’s actions and trusting the goodness inside them. I believed words were just words and lies were just lies and they didn’t really matter, because, in the end, the truth always came out. A person was a product of their upbringing and society’s doctrine, and so, I chose to see past that creation and see the real soul hurting underneath. I chose weakness to be kind. I became blind to show compassion. It made a total fool out of me.”
