If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.
— Zora Neale Hurston (via monamade)
a guy who lives on my street just told me I was a really good runner and he asked if i was on a team or something and he said i had a good stride. i said thank you but he doesnt know how much that means to me cause its the nicest thing anyones ever said to me
