I promise you aren't alone. It may feel it when you are in the darkest times or carry all the shame and guilt. Just let it go, the stress and physical pain you carry is not worth what hurt you in the first place. When you keep hurting from someone else, you put the power back into their hands. Take control.

Healing to me means getting back to the level of happy I was before all of this. I miss that girl and I want the world to see her again. She’s strong, confident, and beautiful. I just have to find her again.

Healing is being able to cope with day-to-day life with the realities of being a survivor, and connect with other survivors for mutual support.

Healing is entirely when you can call yourself a survivor and not a victim. That is when you take back your story and your power and learn that you are stronger now.

Healing means everything to me- And honestly you are healing every single day!! every single day!! little by little.

Your story is enough for you to be powerful. You do not have to become an advocate for your story to mean something. You are enough just as you are.

Healing for me is recognizing the situation, my feelings and realizing when someone harasses me, it's not my fault. I am continuously working to stay strong and speak out against sexual harassment. And hopefully one day I won't need to.

Healing comes in waves, not all at once. Sometimes I can feel the trauma leaking out of me. You are still healing. You are still healing. You are still healing.

Healing means taking control over my life that I have never had. Healing would mean to me that I am so much stronger than my trauma and that my older brother, my ex, and the guy I went on the date with, do not win, I do.
