The more I talked about it, thought about it, the less power it had within me.

I am able to

talk about what happened to me

in a way

that I've never been able

to talk about before, to people

I never would have

mentioned it to before.

And the basic concept

is in order to get over it,

in order to

to become at one with it,

you have to go through it.

The more I talked about it,

the more I thought about it,

the less power it had within me.

And the better

I felt about myself to realize

this is just a part of who I am,

but it does not have

to define me. And...

to be able

to use these lessons

to help other

people, as well.

To show don't be ashamed.

Don't be ashamed of the things

that have made you who you are

And, you don't have

to be ashamed

of the memories

that are within you.
