They say that when a person has undergone a traumatic experience in life, his view of life changes. For me, the traumatic experience made me understand that I needed to embrace who I really was.

I need to stop living the life based on others’ expectations and views.

I like to think that honesty is actually the greatest way to lead a person’s life. Genuinely expressing your desires, thoughts and pursuing your needs in your relationships, your career, your family and your passions in life is a very powerful and liberating feeling. For the first time in my life, I actually felt truly confident about myself. I can say whatever I wanted to say and feel good about it.
