Around the world Quote by N. Torres
““Now I am a grown woman. No one knows me more than I want them to. It was self preservation. If everyone knew so much about me, all of my ticks and old happenings, then these people would be floating around the world, full of me. I had to get rid of everyone before they got rid of me.””
