I decided to stand by all the promises I made myself
I finally stood up and I spoke as myself
I chose to defend myself in my own way
I chose to stand up and publicly say #METOO
I know what you’ve been through
I’ve been there, I’ve lived that ugly truth
But it’s not your fault
And there’s no need to be ashamed
You are not to blame
For someone else’s actions
And please don’t let this drive you insane
Face your truth
Do whatever it is that you feel comfortable doing
This situation is yours and no one else’s
You don’t have to report
You don’t have to tell the world too
But you must do… something
Because 1/6 women are victims, but yet so many suffer alone
I’ll never forget how robbed I felt when that stranger entered my home
MY temple
Uninvited
There’s no feeling like it
But, just as many others
My rapist wasn’t actually a stranger
93% of Juvenile victims know their perpetrator
Our young girls are getting raped by people they know
I was 17
Girls ages 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault
I was going into my freshman year of college
Lacking not knowledge but peace
Living with PTSD
I wish someone would have told me how much easier it’d be … to stop running away and face this
Face your truth
