For the majority of my life, I was abandoned or neglected by those I loved, not worthy or powerful enough to receive their affection. I became broken. An isolated shell of a girl who was beaten and bullied throughout her school years, a different kind of hell in my youth. I was betrayed by the people I held the dearest; all their sweet whispers were just bitter lies. And then I was brought here. To wither and slowly rot. But I survived.
