"How old are you? You can't be twenty yet."
"I have a younger sister, and I haven't seen her in many years. By now, she's probably grown into a young woman. I used to really dislike her because her arrival took away the attention that used to be solely mine from my parents."
"My parents were biased, extremely biased. Just because she was born deaf, they always let her play with the toys and eat the snacks first."
"So, I hated them. As I grew a bit older, the more they forbade me from doing something, the more I wanted to do it. I just wanted to rebel against them."
"I smoked, drank, and hung out with bad boys. Every time my dad caught me, he would beat me. The more he beat me, the more I wanted to defy them."
"Later, I met a man, and he treated me very well. He said he was from elsewhere and wanted to take me back to get married and give me a home. I believed him, and I even broke off all contact with my parents for him. But in the end… I was deceived into coming here."
