When you have lived in a house where constant terror resides, then will you realize the extent of damage it could make to a child.

Fighting in front of your children is child abuse. You may not know how much it affects them but if it hurts you, it hurts them more.

Sometimes I think I need to pray to God to make me care less because it seems that my troubles come from caring a lot more than I should.

Not all people take advantage of people or situations even when they're down on their luck. Some suck it up and live with it, with hopes that one day you'll have the heart to not be among the people causing pain.

The reason why it became so difficult to find a friend is YOU. Because nobody shines through the darkest of night the way you do.

Happy birthday, mama! May you have more years to come so I could get the chance to repay you for all that you've done.
