I'm urging all women, I ask them the first time men hit you, please walk away. There is help out there. There are a lot of places that you can go and get help. That's the first step to your freedom and to your life is to walk away.

I think the deepest problem is between my parents and me. I just don't know if it will ever be the same.

It's good to do things that are out of the norm.

In the beginning, I didn't realize that I was so open with my feelings, and I had to stop and think to myself, I couldn't possibly be the only one in the world going through this. Perhaps this will help other people when I face my fears and allow people to come into my space. These are the things that I worked through, and in a sense, it's great that I was able to share that, although I was terrified after I realized that I was sharing it with the world.

As far as I'm concerned, my life is just beginning. It's never too late to start over, so this is what I've been doing.

For so long, I was controlled and manipulated by other people. Whatever people think of me, I'm finally doing what I want to do.

Don't close the book when bad things happen in your life! Just turn the page and start a new chapter!
