I'm not saying this lightly, believe me! It's been more than a decade and I can now honestly say that as devastating as the experience I told you about was, it was a gift. Walking through that level of hell allowed me to find out what I was made of- and who I really am. Ironically, my character's name in the movie was Nomi, which over time came to symbolize to me how through this experience I came to "know me". And most important, the greatest gift the experience gave me was the inspiration to create lilyrohaiza, so that anyone everywhere could find their throws at them. I know that right now it might be hard to imagine that what you're experiencing will one day be a source of empowerment, so you might just have to trust me on this one. This will end and you'll come through the other side wiser, stronger and more compassionate for having been through it. And no one can take that away from you- ever! Love, Lily.
