Terese Marie Mailhot quotes

I think people have to hit rock bottom to really know their faculties because they have to use those faculties to get out of that rock bottom. I really had to feel profoundly lonely to get myself out of the feeling of being profoundly lonely. But it was always there, that feeling of loneliness and existing with the absence of something that had been stripped from me. (Terese Marie Mailhot)
Women, not all, but many, like seeing they aren't alone. My story is very common. I was abused. Mistreated. Hurt by men. I came up. Women resonate with that story because it's theirs sometimes. View quote

Turning those revelations into art was a whole other thing...I did it, though - and that helped me realize my power, beyond the pain. Being able to illustrate those experiences for readers was a triumph, because it took everything to resist all the urges I have as a human being to present myself as good, or healed, or undamaged. I had to work against myself to make the memoir, and I ended up more empowered than I ever thought I could be. View quote

I wanted to be at the apex of my story...For a long time, it felt as though things were happening to me. I felt as though I had no agency. View quote
