I admit, I've felt strong emotions here however...

[Her voice grows stern.]

I cannot say I've felt truly alive here. I felt alive back home with my friends. I faced pain and hardships there but because I had them, I felt like I had a place to belong, a meaning in my world, a place to call 'home'. I love them and I know they love me. There... I felt alive. Here, I feel like my soul is being ripped a part.

I'm not truly living here, yet...

[...yet she says, she pauses.]

...yet I will continue to fight so I can live.
