It breaks my heart when a strong, independent character...one who has fought and endured all possible hardships...breaks down because of one weakness.
A girl who fights culture and patriarchy and poverty and "ugliness" and low self esteem and sexual abuse and lack of identity and religion and family and friends and parents and norms and educational barriers and glass ceilings......a girl who passes all these tests......is a strong girl. Why does God send her that one problem to kill her?
