I had to make some drastic choices to avoid losing myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I couldn't live up to it. So I chose to run away.
I became so consumed with trying to live up to what the public expected that I lost myself. I don't know of anyone else who can say this.
I had no choice in the decision to make myself available. I was not always doing things I wanted to do.
I didn't want to lose my sense of myself in my profession.
I choose not to think of my life as surviving, but coping.
In my life, I have made the occasional catastrophic choice, and it's just a case of moving on and learning from it.
My first plan of escape having failed, I now determined upon another.
I had to find the courage to turn my life around.
But rarely have I made choices that made me feel I was really compromising what I believe.
In my life I had no other choice than to become a strong person.
