this day ten years ago marks
the worst days of my life.
it changed almost everything about the way i viewed the world, my parents,
my friends, the authorities but mostly myself.
i often wonder how i would have turned out if this event hadn't happened?
or if i had dealt with it differently.
i was fourteen
one out of every six American women will be a victim of sexual assault.
if you know someone, or you are someone who has experienced something like this,
please talk about it. you can try to run and hide from it like i did.
you cant change the past, but you can change the future and what you make of it.
this is the first time I've ever said anything like this on a public basis, but I'm done hiding. it happened. i want other women around the world to know that they are not alone, and to please reach out to those around you.
im not posting this to get im sorry comments this happened and so on,
just keep in mind this is real. when a friend needs you, be there for them, even if you dont know how
just hold their hand, sit with them, anything is better than nothing.
