Aspen Matis Quotes

The Night Junior Stayed, My Right To Myself Was Taken From Me In A Way That Had Felt More Final Than Ever Before. Then The School Had Denied My Rape - My Word. The Subsequent Silencing And Exile - Misplaced Shame - Were The Catalysts For Me To Finally Break Free Of My Mother's Grasp And My Voicelessness And Do What I Truly Wanted, Alone. I Wished To Prove Myself As Independent And Valid And Strong - To My Mother, And To The World. I'd Believed I Had Needed Something Huge And External That No One Could Deny Was Impressive, So I Could Show My Family I Was Able - So They Could Finally Know That I Was Strong.

Instead I Had Shown Myself.

And It Felt Wonderful.
