I am not a victim. I am an angry survivor.

Everybody is not a victim.

I'm not a victim, and I don't need to behave like one.

I don't want to be a victim.

You can't heal what you don't acknowledge.

You cannot heal yourself. You cannot heal anybody else. We're designed to do this in community because we were created inside community for community by community.

Sure, I've been a victim, but in retrospect, most of it has been of my own making. I allowed it to happen.

It was just you had to be strong, and if you weren't strong you're a victim and you're not going to make it. That was the reality when I was growing up.
