Healing is accepting all emotions that come along, face them, dont put them away, this will destroy you from the inside and the beautiful soul you are!

We have each other. We have a support system, even if we haven’t met in real life. I care about you. I am here to listen to your story and to tell you that you deserve to be happy and safe. We all do.

You are allowed to feel whatever you are feeling, and it wasn't your fault.

You deserve to be whole and feel safe in yourself. Even if it’s unbearable right now, I hope you stay with yourself on the way to freedom.

There is no definition for sexual assault. If you feel like it violated you and your body, those feelings are valid and they deserve to be tended to and healed. Healing is never done, it's a constant process and very complicated! Take your time, breathe, and remember that there is good people out there!

Self-forgiveness for letting things get this far and self-forgiveness for the decisions I’ve made that are now having an impact on me and everyone around me.

When I was 11 yrs old i was raped by three boys. We had just moved to the place i live now. I never told anyone until i was in high school. I lived with guilt and self harm for yrs over the incident until in therapy i learned that it wasnotmy fault and those boys had no right to do that. I try and help people by sharing my story. We should speak out about it
Dear reader, this story contains language of self-harm that some may find triggering or discomforting.

Healing is knowing and loving yourself despite what you may internally hear. Its setting boundaries and listening to them. Its feeling your gut and following it.

Instead of relying on others, focus on your own abilities, hopes, and dreams. Every day, strive to become a better version of yourself and work towards achieving your goals. With dedication and effort, you can become the person you aspire to be.

Always remember it is NEVER your fault. Don't let people twist your mind into thinking you caused anything of what happened to you. The problem lies with the PERPETRATORS and the ABUSERS. THEY are the ones who have the problem, NOT YOU. Find those that DO support you, and keep them close and in your heart.

Happiness is you and your decision to be happy. I like this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson "Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams."

Healing is sharing your story, only in sharing can we let go of shame. Shame that wasn't ours to begin with.
