She said, “For me, it has been a long journey. It’s been so hard, I won’t lie.”
“Sometimes, I would cry to sleep and be like, ‘Why me?’ and want it to end. But sometimes, when difficult moments happen, you must look at the positive side. So I had to change my mindset and see that greatness may come from all this.”
