"I overcame the trauma of rape after three years of drugs, alcohol, and sleeping around to forget my pain.
I found God, I found peace."
What is the worst thing you've ever done?
[multiple indistinct voices asking similar questions]
"What are you most proud of?"
"I quit my desk job and pursued a career I am passionate about."
I don't care what it is, I'm happy for them.
That's what everybody wants...
...isn't it?
It's gonna be scary, and it has to be scary, but sometimes you've got to make that jump.
Why not be scared first towards something you're, like, passionate about?
"Overcoming depression has been a big feat for me.
Not letting it back in to control my life has been a tough and daily struggle,
but looking back, I can't believe I've lived this many years feeling happy and loved."
That is incredible.
That's a great thing to be proud of and I—
I went through a lot of periods of depression in my life,
and so coming out of that, I totally feel this.
It's a great secret.
"I'm proud of the fact that I chose to confront my first partner about whether or not he truly cared for me.
We'd been dating for about four years at that point. I'm glad I didn't waste any more time with him."
You go girl.
Yeah from this, she was obviously able to learn that...
this person wasn't giving her what she needed and you know, this person wasn't caring for her,
so... I'm happy for her.
"I overcame the trauma of rape after three years of drugs, alcohol, and sleeping around to forget my pain.
I found God.
I found comfort in those around me.
I found peace."
I'm sorry that you were...
in pain and...
while you were trying to escape from your pain, someone inflicted more pain on you.
I'm glad you were able to overcome that and...
find something meaningful to you.
I think that's really important.
"I have been abused my entire life; mentally, emotionally, physically, sexually—
and still I choose to see the good in people and to give as much love as I can."
You know 'love' is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but...
when you can go through pain and still leave yourself open enough
where you let someone love you, and you give it...
...that's strength.
And so that's very beautiful.
