I want to lift it up again: "So I am sorry that you don't want to look at my wreckage, but I have carpentry in my mouth. I have a hammer in my hands. You cannot stop me from building. And as long as you are there in the back of the room, I am going to be here, voice made from smolder because this is my story, and you cannot take this from me."

She is an amazing woman and she can tell it!

K&R and thank you eridani for bring this to us!!
