TRIGGER WARNING

**TRIGGER WARNING**This blog contains subject matter that could very well be triggering for some as it covers childhood sexual abuse and rape culture. My intention is to raise awareness and encourage other victims to let their voices be heard, NOT to offend, attention-seek, name call, blame or point fingers.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to my story.

Your life should matter most to you, before you involve someone else.

Love yourself before you can be part of a loving relationship.
Remember,
You need to not self-harm for your own sake, not for someone else's.

Sexuality is not a need; IT'S A GIFT

You can not be secure in a sexual relationship until you are secure in your own sexuality and individuality.

No more blame game

You can't live your life
and be a better person
if you blame other people.

Take responsibility for yourself!
Be confident in yourself!
And know what LOVE means to you.

Be confident in the future you can make for yourself.

LIE TO ME

tell me a lie about LIFE that I haven't heard before and make it sound more convincing than the last.

You asked, what does love mean to me?

"LOVE ME",
tell yourself
"I love myself"
"I am myself"
"I love being myself"

HE taught you self-hatred and denial
that is not the life YOU will lead.

REAL LOVE
is mutual caring, respect, honesty, truth;
being able to be your whole self with someone else.

I AM LOVEABLE!

NOTHING THAT WAS DONE TO ME COULD MAKE ME OTHERWISE.

I loved you, because I knew no other way of being.
I've felt the power of being loved,
and now the absence of it
shakes me life with terror.

How will I love again?
Will I ever love again?

Do not ask these questions of yourself;
ask yourself,
"At what point did it become so impossible to love myself???"

I fell in love with you
the first time
you looked into my eyes,

such expressive eyes,
a mind exploding with creativity.

A body also so familiar with the constant
presence of pain.

I knew in touching you I needed to be so delicate;
always afraid of going overboard,
never coming up for air.

I can't forget your taste or your touch.
I don't want to.

What you and I did together,
and what I showed you,
was so different,
from what he did to me.
Today he is this unwelcome presence that tells me
"YOU'RE NEVER ENOUGH"
That I am no one,
unless I can see myself
reflected in the eyes
of someone who loves me.

Who am I?
When this mirror breaks and I am surrounded by self-hatred.

I am no one but myself.
Always have been, always will be.

A Quote From Unbreakable on Netflix

"We're different. We're the strong ones and you can't break us!!"

The Hurting

"hurt people, hurt people"
it's not okay to justify your actions,
blaming your behavior on a part of yourself
that has struggled to come
to terms with her past.

Just because I have been so deeply hurt,
does not mean
that I must spread this hurt
among the people I meet.

I can spread,
LOVE,
HOPE &
JOY!

But first, I need to learn to feel these things for myself, not just for someone else.

UNIVERSAL LOVE

If you really did 
LOVE ME
then I know that you
still love me today
and always will.

LOVE ALWAYS

Love is lost,
if you let it languish
from a lack of self-care,
understanding and forgiveness.

Nothing is unforgivable,
just as nothing is worthless
in the great round.
I know,
I can trust
that LOVE will find a way
through this darkness.
Love always finds a way.

SURVIVORS REMIND YOURSELF DAILY

"HOW HAPPY I AM TO HAVE SURVIVED"

Give the feelings of guilt and shame back to the person who deserves it.
Give it back to the perpetrator who unwillingly
made these feelings a sickening part of your life.
Know that these feelings,
are not yours to hold.
They never were.
Give them back
and don't allow yourself to be weighted by guilt anymore.

And see how powerful it is to really be free
