Favorite Quote:
The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
they're in each other all along.

You tied me up
Put these chains on me.
It took all that I had,
But now I'm finally free.

Now I'm vulnerable.
Sore and weak.
I need help.
This pain is unique.

But don't think for a moment
That you can get me once more.
My body may be weakened
But my soul's stronger than before.
