My heart beats fast now. I'm... scared:
Hello World, here is my soul and my greatest pain. Please don't destroy me.

oh pa'leez cut the drama, girl
and why would anyone be afraid if they are telling the truth??
For the very simple reason that telling the truth for five months in AARC only set me back. That experience taught me that sometimes it does not matter how truthful and right you are - some creatures on this earth really only intend to hurt, use and abuse you.
I had been very happy keeping my distance from you lot, with my life intact. And this exposure of my life and struggles to the world, although necessary, is terrifying. And your very sympathetic response is indicative of what is to come. Clearly, I have reason to be nervous when malicious people such as yourself are so willing to attack.
However - I am ecstatic that finally, the truth will be heard. I have hope still that the decent Canadians who see this will be as outraged as I was to find that such a concentration camp exists in our free country. I believe that in the clear light of day, this abusive, illegal, and completely unethical institution will be seen for what it is. I have hope, I have faith, I trust. We'll see if that's well-founded in the coming days/weeks/hours.
