Shortly before she left this world, Tina Turner decided to speak honestly about the night that changed everything. After one more brutal argument on the way from the airport to the hotel, she waited for Ike to fall asleep. Quietly, she got up, grabbed a nearly empty bag, walked out with just 36 cents in her pocket and crossed the highway in total darkness. “I wasn’t afraid for myself,” she recalled. “At that moment, I felt I had hit rock bottom.” From that lonely escape, Tina slowly began rebuilding her life, piece by piece: her career, her self-worth, her courage. It took years to truly leave the past behind, not for him, but for herself — for her own freedom and the peace she had always deserved and that no one had the right to take away.
Sometimes the bravest thing you’ll ever do is not stay and fight, but find the strength to walk away.
