Surly Romance Quotes

“Mental health isn’t something that’s discussed often in my house or even in my community. I used to think that ignoring our mental issues made us stronger than other folks. Made us a little more invincible. See? We’re not crybabies. We don’t break down. We’re stronger than everyone. But how destructive is a culture that sweeps weakness and imperfection under the rug when every human is flawed, broken and capable of being worn out? How many breakdowns have people had because they were struggling to reach that impossible standard of ‘having life all figured out’?”
