9. At moments like that you have to say thank goodness for friends.

When there is no hope and all seems dark and trouble will not leave your heels...you can always know that you have a friend to kick trouble to the curb, light up the sky with a funny line and dust off all your doubts and insecurities. It is like seeing hope walk and talk to you. It is uplifting. It is needed in this amazingly cruel world. It is, sadly, lacking for women like Noor...no voice, no choice, not even a footnote in life. I've had to try and mentally block some of the things I learned about what when on there. I can't handle that level of rage for an extended period of time.

The silence itself is horrendous.
