“As a child I believed I was happy, but I don’t know if I was happy because I was told I was, or if I truly was.

Take some every hour for twelve hours a day and every hour for twelve hours a night.” LifeCourageOppression Book:The Hard Road Out: One Woman’s Escape From North Korea Source: The Hard Road Out: One Woman’s Escape From North Korea
