Feeling of being seen

“I could never forget him. He was the first man who made me feel seen.”

Duality of past experiences

“Maybe there’s a way to survive, to get out of all this. Maybe there’s a way to tell the story that doesn’t kill me.”

Feeling of helplessness

“I never asked for this. I never wanted this. But it still happened.”

Strong and emotional from within

“I wasn’t innocent, not in the way you think of innocence. I was more like a weapon.”

Past and struggles

“The things that happen to me, the things I let happen to me, they no longer belong to me.”

Belief in love

“I wanted to believe in love, but there was no love in him.”

Victim and empowerment

“I am not a victim. I am a survivor. I am a woman who made choices.”
