"When I had nothing to lose, I had everything to gain. When I rejected who I was, I found myself. When I knew humiliation and still continued on my path, I understood that I was free to choose my destiny. I don't know (...) whether my marriage was just a dream that I failed to understand while it lasted. I know I can live without him, but I want to meet him one more time - to tell him what I never said while we were together: I love you more than myself. If I told him this, I could go on in peace - because this love redeemed me.

When I had nothing to lose, I had everything to gain. When I rejected who I was, I found myself. When I knew humiliation and still continued on my path, I understood that I was free to choose my destiny. I don't know (...) whether my marriage was just a dream that I failed to understand while it lasted. I know I can live without him, but I want to meet him one more time - to tell him what I never said while we were together: I love you more than myself. If I told him this, I could go on in peace - because this love redeemed me.
""Amikor nem volt mit vesztenem, mindent megkaptam. Amikor megtagadtam azt, aki voltam, megtaláltam önmagamat. Amikor megismertem a megalázottságot, és mégis folytattam utamat, megértettem, hogy szabadon megválaszthatom a sorsomat. Nem tudom (...), hogy a házasságom csak egy álom volt-e, amit nem sikerült megértenem, amíg tartott. Tudom, hogy nélküle is tudok élni, de szeretnék még egyszer találkozni vele - hogy megmondhassam neki, amit soha nem mondtam, amíg együtt voltunk: jobban szeretlek, mint saját magamat. Ha ezt elmondanám neki, tovább tudnék menni békében - mert ez a szerelem megváltott."
