"

The night Junior stayed, my right to myself was taken from me in a way that had felt more final than ever before. Then the school had denied my rape__y word. The subsequent silencing and exile__isplaced shame__ere the catalysts for me to finally break free of my mother's grasp and my voicelessness and do what I truly wanted, alone. I wished to prove myself as independent and valid and strong__o my mother, and to the world. I'd believed I had needed something huge and external that no one could deny was impressive, so I could show my family I was able__o they could finally know that I was strong.Instead I had shown myself.And it felt wonderful.

Girl in the Woods: A Memoir

"

This is one of those moments when I wish I could be young forever. Not just stop time for a second, but for an eternity. The old paradox that youth is wasted on the young is not true for us. Neither I nor my friends take our youth for granted. In fact, all of the young people I know are all too aware that someday soon time and gravity won__ be on their side anymore. And there__ nothing we can do about it. So the young do the only thing they can do. They live and they love and they dance and they sing, they dream and they scheme, they ponder and they plan. Like there__ no tomorrow. For tomorrow brings us one day closer to the inevitable and one day further from the impossible. And being young is all about achieving the impossible. Or at least believing you can. The old mistake our denial for ignorance, our immaturity for irresponsibility. We understand the rules of life, we just don__ want to play by them. Not yet. Not today. Not tonight.Because tonight is a good night to be young and alive.
