Quote for Today

Posted on the 21 December 2015 by Radicalhope

“In the beginning there was laughter, but inside the laughter there was so much sorrow. Sorrow has bloated and filled me up. My insides are puffy, my tummy swollen like a watermelon. This is an angry sorrow. A sorrow that wants to be free, that demands to be told. But to whom to I tell it?”
