Susan Crandall said this quote

“ I locked the door and turned on the water to fill the tub. I made it so hot that I had to get in real slow. I wanted it to hurt, wanted my outside to feel as bad as my inside. I sat there a long time watching my skin turn redder and redder... Finally my insides was as fiery as my skin. I liked the burn and hoped it took everything I'd been wishing for and turned it to ashes. ”

He says that's how we get by sometimes. But it's not weak, like hidin'...it's strong. It means you're able to go on.
