Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world.  All things break.  And all things can be mended.  Not with time, as they say, but with intention.  So go.  Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.  The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.  Quote by L.

Breaking the generational cycles is hard.  Really, really hard.  But it can be done.  It starts with a still small voice whispering that there is another way... a better way.  That you have the power to choose your own path.  And then you choose.  And then it gets harder. Sometimes a LOT harder.  But, you persist.  And then something magical happens.  It gets better because of you.Quote by L. R. KnostAward-winning author, feminist, and social justice activist, L.R.
