"Don’t convince yourself you don’t care; that is a special Christ-like quality. What you need to start thinking is you care about you, too. Even telling yourself 'it doesn’t matter' is self betrayal (because it does matter). Instead, say 'it doesn’t change things.' Hurt is still hurt, mistakes are still mistakes, life is still life, and your life is still your life."
--Cindy Porter
