“…An almost full moon, hanging in the night sky, brought Elena more pain. How it seemed to taunt her, with its bright, judicious face calling on her to be honest. To stand up for herself. To do what everyone told her was impossible.”
A word from Elena
Elena Vaytsel, the author
Most of my life, I was convinced I have no right to act on my own needs. That what I did with my life had to be and would always be dictated by others. I had no idea I was indoctrinated! That, in reality, I had the full right to not hurt myself. Not sacrifice my life for others’ vision of me. Only when I met Meg did I discover that my life was, in fact, mine and nobody else’s. That I could and should stand up to the bastards who hurt me.
Discovering this was only the very first step in my liberation. It took me one hell of a fight and years of experience to get to where I am today. It wasn’t easy and I and Meg are still far from the happy ending of our journey. But I don’t regret anything. What I have today, to me, is immense wealth. I don’t betray myself by pretending to be somebody I am not. I love an amazing person and I am loved. And we have the whole world to ourselves.
I am thrilled to share with you the very first steps to my freedom — the life that is truly mine.
