“I thought this pain would leave when I remembered that I had choices. But choices make it worse than ever. Choices don`t help at all, because this new person doesn`t know HOW to make choices. This new person has no skills at all.”

“It seems I had personally laid my past to rest and when writing volume two of my book, it reminded me how I managed to get through it all back when I was young and how I made a personal choice to leave New Zealand in search of a better life.”

“Pain or perspective, that's the choice.'. . . You choose pain - you choose to fight it, deny it, bury it - then yes, the choice is always hard. But you choose perspective - embrace your history, give it credit for the better person it can make you, scars and all - the choice gets easier every time.”

“...how impossible itis to really make a choice, when the best choice of all is an option youcouldn’t even imagine.”

“When would I stop being second choice? Would I ever be number one to the person I cared most about in the world?”

“I don't regret any of the decisions I've made in my life because with every choice I make, I learn something new.”
