“You should be able to have everything you want… you should be a mommy and a wife and you shouldn’t have to live with your life being threatened at every turn.”

“You can’t understand what it’s like to have the choice taken away, a man forcing himself on you. Not caring if you want or don’t want… and that powerlessness. Not being strong enough to stop – not having any control. It’s something that never goes away.”

“I love you Mark. You gave me my life back.”

“I promise to always be here when you wake up.”

“I handed him my heart, soul, and spirit on a silver platter and he crushed them into a million pieces.”

“A world full of people who want to know what you will be, what is your skill and what is your purpose. In the north, if a man had come and said "What will you be? What will you do?" I would have laughed at this kind of person that lives all the time in the future.”

“Motivation doesn't come from empty words, because words fade over time. If persistance and perservance is what you live then what motivation do you need? Your dreams can turn into goals and your goals can turn into a reality. You are all the motivation you need to succeed.”
