I am happy to be alone. Perhaps this is true. Or perhaps I am the biggest coward of all.

But there will be no redemption for me. I will become the most unmerciful of murderers. I accept my fate.

I'm not surprised he wants to challenge me here, where no one can protect me. He thinks I'm a weak woman. He thinks wrong.

Torture is being married to a proud, insensitive man, while an attentive, supportive man lives under the same roof.

What I did cannot be forgiven, any more than it could have been avoided.

An uncertain warrior is no warrior at all.

If we are to survive, I must start and end my war this same day.
