Healing means letting myself feel that anger, knowing that I don’t even have to forgive myself because there is nothing I should be sorry for. It’s not linear, it takes time and it also takes support and I don’t have to do it alone. There is still so much internalised misogyny I have to unlearn and that’s part of it too.

It is never too late - there are skilled people out there who will make a difference.

You have a strength in you to fight . The best revenge is not letting him have a hold on your future.

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.

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.

It doesnt last forever. You have had and will have so many amazing experiences in your life that will slowly but surely drown out the bad. And some day youll realise it doesnt really hurt so much any more and its all ok. I have got to that point and i just know you will get there too pet xo

Someone wants to listen to your story. Someone wants to help. Don't deal with this alone. I believe you, I see you. You can survive this.

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!

Healing is finding my voice. No longer being afraid to share my story and be listened too. Holding in those feelings and thoughts, what happened to you is never the best way to heal. Find your voice and I promise you’ll be heard.

If you have experienced ANY type of unwarranted sexual harassment, assault, violence - I BELIEVE YOU. YOU ARE VALID AND YOU ARE IMPORTANT.
