我又想到那句，真正注视你人生的只有八岁的你和八十岁的你。我就知道我是正确的。The 8 year old who was beaten and the 80 year old looking back. Everyone else in between are just noise. Only those two versions of me are the true witnesses to my life.
The 8 year old survived things no child should survive. She deserved protection and got pain instead. Every brave thing I've done is me keeping a promise to her. That it was worth surviving. That she would become someone free.
I have not let her down once.
