Hey Rebel,
I know it hurts. Survive this! And the world will be a better place. You will be able to think freely for the first time. You won't be afraid of the elders anymore. After all, they've done the worst they can do to you, so raise your head up, for your deliverance is here!
Survive this, Rebel, and it will make you strong, and fierce, and best of all, it teaches you how to love unconditionally by showing you the fallacy of conditional love.
"If it hurts, I must be growing. If it scares me, I must be trying something new. Emotions I've been trained to avoid are the emotions that indicate the growth of independence."
