I drew this about a year ago. I love to draw, so I decided to use it to express how I was feeling.

Original story

Message to a Survivor

To any survivors, I believe you. I see you. I hear you. I stand with you. You are strong. You are not dirty. It was not your fault. You are not alone.

When I was younger, I was sexually abused. Those words still sting. He was a neighbor and family friend who gained my trust at a young age. I felt so alone, ashamed, guilty, dirty. I felt so stuck. It took years for me to open up and start talking about it. But taking that step, and sharing my story, began my healing journey. I was abused for almost 10 years before it stopped. I am here to share my story to say that there is a light. There is hope. Taking that step to share your story is the first step towards healing. Healing is possible. You are not alone 💙
