“I don’t talk much anymore, not because I have nothing to say, but because I know you will blame me. Every word turns into an argument, every feeling becomes my fault. So I stay quiet not out of peace, but out of exhaustion. It’s easier to stay silent than to be misunderstood again and again. Silence becomes a shield when words no longer feel safe. And that’s when you realize sometimes it’s not that people stop talking, they just stop feeling heard.”

“...A body pocked by landmines left by a lifetime of war? And yet I have survived. To be here. Right here. Right now. Have I made it to this point so that finally—for once—I can see myself clearly? The sunlight glimmers. This same light, this same mountain that watches over us in the near distance will still be here long after I am gone. Shouldn’t I view myself—shouldn’t we all view ourselves—as eternally majestic?”

“You think because you can humiliate me, you can control me? Well, I think you’re an idiot. you’ve gone out of your way to make me feel like I’m less than you. And to coddle your ego, I have made myself less. I have made myself small, I have kept my head down. But it wasn’t enough to make you leave Taryn and me alone, so I’m not going to do that anymore. I am going to keep on defying you. I am going to shame you with my defiance. Well, let me remind you that means you have much to lose and I have nothing. You may win in the end, you may ensorcell me and hurt me and humiliate me, but I will make sure you lose everything I can take from you on the way down. I promise you this— this is the least of what I can do.”
