Nikki Gil

"“There were always a lot of warnings, but I chose to ignore them—I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that it could be done to me."

"“You just brush it under the rug, until one day, it all blows up in your face,”"

"“I’m a woman and I protect what’s mine, I don’t touch what’s not mine."

"“If I were the kind of girl [who’d steal a boyfriend], I’d understand completely, but I cherish those things,”"

"“Nobody told me to stay a virgin, or because I’m a stuck-up prude na holy-holy. It’s my choice."

"“In hindsight, thank you! Thank you, people around him, for causing this to happen, because if it didn’t, it would have lasted longer."

"“I was made to believe I was making up these things in my head—I thought we were just plateau-ing.”"

"“My arms are open wide, catching all the good karma coming my way,”"

"Of course, my friends, they're all love prospects. I'm at that point."
