A Caricature
Nadya considered the past as she thought back on events. She turned into a caricature of herself and said, “I was selfish and immature.” I never wanted the spotlight, she said, but the employees violated her privacy and alerted the media. “While I was giving birth, helicopters were flying above the hospital.” She then said, “All the reporters who have visited throughout the years have given me PTSD. Back then, I used to allow them in and take anything I could. I was falling into a deep hole. I was acting in accordance with instructions and speaking as directed. But she realized that pretending to be something you’re not always results in you falling flat on your face. She was able to say, despite this, that she could never change the past because she had earned her angels over time.

Running Away
After a horrible period in her life, she eventually found the strength to flee the downward spiral, both literally and mentally. “Once I finally ran away from all of the pretending, I was able to be me,” Nadya told the reporter. Nadya still had to put in a lot more effort to physically recover from the pregnancy’s effects since “at least physically, that “me” has been irreparably transformed.” One of the main repercussions of the last pregnancy was that Nadya’s back fractured. Nadya started running half-marathons and convinced her entire family to join her, even though some would give up under the pressure.
