The reason for me writing this book is so that you would know how to forgive a person for the horrific things that they have done to you. As a child and teenager being bless at the end that still loving your self and being thankful for the children you have. At twelve, I was told by a doctor that my womb was damaged so bad that he wasn't sure if I was going to have children. Years after this, I gave birth to seven children-five boys and two girls. I lost one of my children in 2014 to sickness, and he died three days before his twenty-third birthday. I've been through a lot over the years, but I never let it get me down. I look up to God through it all. I have seen the people that hurt me and have forgiven them for me and not for them. I love my mother and forgave her. I understand not everyone is able to take care of their children. No need to take on a job you can't handle. I raised my children with love and I also tell them to never hurt people and the ones they love. If any of you are going through what I have been through, please get help and don't let this break you down. Seek therapy. Never stop loving yourself and stay strong and loving. You will be all right to the point where you will want to help others in a good way. I can say this because that's what I have been doing and I have people who look up to me, including my children. I am glad to be a blessing to someone.

Earlier today, when the carriage just left Olep, he asked the crew if there was any way to record the trip, he'd seen paper in this world after all, and the crew happily gave him this extremely long parchment made of thin writing paper that was the closest thing to a notebook one could find in this place. They asked him if they could do it in his stead but Alex refused so they instead gave him writing feathers and ink. Although the paper was a bit rough, the ink too runny and the feather rather uncomfortable to hold, they did the job.
