"People can look at our past, they can judge us and pick out only parts of who we used to be, but the past is just another chapter we’ve finished writing and it’s who we are today that matters the most. For every life experience, every lesson learned, has helped us to transform and change into the extraordinary people we are now. When we step back, when we take a deep breath, when we stand on the outside looking in, that’s when we see the courage, strength and beauty that is all ready found in our hearts and we see how far we’ve come, that every fight has been worth it to get here today. For we always have one more fight left in us and it is that fighting spirit, that will to survive and the power to take back our lives that opens the door to a better life for us as we refuse to give up on our lives and ourselves."
