Unbroken Quotes

“I never once felt the bond
a little girl should feel with a father figure. Not once. Instead, I learned early on to carry
things by myself. To keep my feelings quiet, tucked away, because I didn’t want to
make waves. That kind of silence becomes a survival skill — but it also teaches you
that you can only rely on yourself. It makes you grow up faster than you should, and
while it made me independent, it also left a quiet ache that no one else could see.”
― Nany Carmen González, Unbroken: A Life Reclaimed: A Memoir of Resilience and Healing
