I have been on a journey to find out who I am in a world full of people. In this book, I explain a lot of the relationships that I had with men, family, and friends. In Don't Let the Hurt Take the Fight Out of You, I give an account of how each of these interactions changed and molded my perspective about myself and those around me.

I have learned that when the world makes you feel insignificant, it is up to you to recognize your self-worth. Validation from others is fine, but if you don't truly believe you are worthy, you will still be plagued with self-doubt.

There comes a time when sacrificing relationships with others is critical to your healing process.

Dealing with pain is hard, but with time, the pain lessens.

"Cry, but don't stop."

"Get frustrated, but don't give up."

"Get mad, but keep going."

There is light at the end of the tunnel.
