I don't even have an understanding of how you do that to another human being.

All the things that I see done that are ugly, not just child abuse, all the things, the bullying, all these different things.

I'm like, God, I couldn't conceive of waking up and deciding to do that.

My innocence is intact.

And the men that hurt me have not taken that from me.

And it was not personal.

I was there, unfortunately, against my will and witnessing someone else's monstrous darkness.

And so I don't consider that having been taken from me.

Nothing's been taken from me apart from my fucking time.

And so at some point I have to take agency over how much more of my time I will allow to go and be taken.

And no more, no more minutes belong to anyone other than me.

And I really believe that you can restabilize yourself by building a fucking bunker inside of yourself that creates an immovable thing in you because you're incredibly strong and incredibly resilient for what you've had to overcome.

Well, like you, work in progress.

A work in progress, of course.

But build your bunker.

Every woman here, build your bunker because then your partner leaving you, this happening, losing your job, all these different things.

Obviously, these come with huge ramifications.

And I'm not a mother.

So therefore, I have a huge privilege in that there is no one depending on me or relying upon me.

I'm well aware of that.
