Ayiti

Lindsay

Freedom, it seems, has a price. We are defined by what we are not and what we do not have.

“Why do men always assume women are angry when they are honest? I’m not angry.”

Let’s not sit here and tell each other everything there is to know about who we once loved. I am tired of listening to men talk about their regrets.”
