Maddy’s quote, by Brené Brown: Because we can feel belonging only if we have the courage to share our most authentic selves with people, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.

Jeremy’s quote, by @risingwoman: Stop asking why they did what they did. Why they left, hurt you, betrayed you… They can’t give you the answers you need. Rein your energy back and remember that you have the power to heal without their explanation.
