Quotes
No wire hangers, ever!
I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at the dirt.
I made you, and I can break you just as easily.
Don't fuck with me, fellas!
You should have known I'd never let you get away with that.
I was the happiest little girl in the whole world.
I had nobody to talk to; nobody cared about what I thought or felt.
All I ever wanted was a mother who loved me.
Behind closed doors, she was a monster.
I had to be perfect in her eyes, no matter the cost.
She controlled every aspect of my life, suffocating my spirit.
I will never let her ruin my life anymore.
