Hurt Quote by Mia Sheridan

![“[The kidnapping] happened 14 years ago, and I didn't talk about it for ten years because I was too embarrassed. I was too scared. I thought, People are gonna judge me, they're gonna pity me, and I don't want that. Because I'm not a victim - I'm a survivor.” quote by Frida Farrell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/638/frida-farrell-55403_embarrassed_the-kidnapping-happened-14-years-ago-and_2563073.jpg)
