After being in captivity for so long, I can't begin to describe how wonderful it feels to be home in Canada.
Friendships that don't fit my life anymore have faded away, and new ones have come in.
I have watched lives change. I have seen women gain confidence.
I don't think I'm unusual in that, in my 20s, like many people, I felt invincible.
Every day I have many choices to make about who I want to be.
Maintaining my dignity is so important for me.
