Just know that it was never your fault for what happens. You are strong and deserve to be happy in who you are.

Being honest with yourself, allowing yourself to feel the emotions & not push them down.

Healing, to me, is a constantly evolving. It started with accepting what had happened to me. I hope that one day I will confide in someone about my experience and truly heal from it.

It does get better. It doesn’t mean it will happen again. There is still love and joy in the world, even after it all. It just might take time to see it.

There's always more fight left in you. Hope is your guidance. You are not alone, it's never too late and you will be believed!

As cliche as it may be, things will get better. You are believed, you have value, and you deserve the greatest happiness. And you will get it! Make sure to put yourself first, to look out for yourself, and to surround yourself with those who genuinely care about you.

You matter, your story matters, and nobody knows what happened to you that day. Never stop fighting. Never let it get the best of you.

Absolutely. If my story is of help to anyone or anyone needs to share their story with me, I would be so happy if anything helps. I survived that part of my life and am working on the other parts.

What happened was not your fault. You deserve to be speak and be heard.

It gets better. I know you’ve heard that and probably raising your eyes to heaven as your reading this. But it does. There was one time where I thought this would define me for the rest of my life, but it doesn’t. It’s not who I am, it’s something that happened to me, the blame is on another person.
