Every move I make is just a part of my plan
And I do it just because you said I can't
And I do it just because you said I can't

Think back on a time when you experienced great difficulty. How did you get through it?
"I’m here because I have lived a lifetime of difficulty. Maybe something was easy when I was a child, I don’t know." There’s a bittersweet beat of laughter over the truth of her inability to recall. "Trying to pretend otherwise would just be silly when everyone in this District knows better. I’ve lost my entire family — one by one; as public spectacle and in private — to graves, to fear, to a decade-long coma. I won’t bore everyone with tragedies already done to death by gossip. My name is Calliope Bloom and whatever you’ve heard about me is probably true; the difficulty of that, too, is the reason why I’m here. All of it... this is how I’m getting through it, because difficulty is still happening. Right here. Right now. To me. To you. Doing something about it — that's how I get through it. I can’t bring my brother back to life. Or my mother. Or my best friend. I can’t wake up a brain that refuses or force anyone to share burdens this heavy. I don’t ask for what I can’t have. There's no going back in time to slap the drugs out of my brother's hands, but the rehab center I’ve worked to open will help someone else’s brother. I can’t retroactively convince this community to give my family the support that might have kept me in school and on the path to becoming a chemist, but I can be that support for other kids." I can't assassinate the President and call off the Games, but I can send supplies to the rebellion in Thirteen and swing a baseball bat at the sculpture of his ugly face in the Justice Building when no one's looking. "This job is the hardest thing I've ever done. There's no sitting back and hoping things change on their own — it's just been me, refusing to accept the way things were before."
