Art by Natalia Rak.
1. Moulding the clay of a language so unknown was hard, but today I have mastered this skill. But, when it comes to moulding the clay of my mother tongue, I fail miserably.

2. I am building a home, not a house.
It will contain walls of hard work
windows of courage
a roof of dreams
a shelf of longevity
and a vibe of optimism.
3. Whenever you fail, fall down completely, sink to the bottom and then erupt like a volcano - burning with rage to achieve the unachievable.
4. Tough times are unavoidable. Face them fearlessly, turn the thorns into a barbed wire and protect yourself from the people who are ready to pull you down when you are the weakest.
5. Suppressed voices, shattered dreams and unshed tears made me a feminist- tough to break, easy to heal.
6. Tough times have woven the strength in my hands, courage in my feet, and wisdom in my head.
