by Mafalda Rakoš .."They say that only the weakest get sick, but I don’t believe that. To be honest, I think this illness requires a lot of strength; it takes a lot to be able to handle it. Maybe others would have commi ed suicide already. I think that’s underestimated a lot. I do think I deserve recognition for that, like arising phoenix from the ashes, that’s a good picture... You didn’t believe me, but you will be surprised."
