This is a interactive blog I created to share my sexual assault story, and my journey to healing. I only hope that others will have the courage to speak their truth. We all have a story and we are all in this journey to healing together.

Healing was the best I could have done. It meant everything to me, it made me a better version of myself, It made me realize that I can live without this toxic person. It thought me to love myself and appreciate me.

You are never alone. That traumatic experience does not define you, it does not define your worth, it does not get to dictate your life. You are still your own beautiful soul.

You are not alone. I hope you are growing in love and beauty everyday. I am with you.

You are strong, and you will overcome this. This isn’t who you are, it’s part of your story, and someday you will use it for better.
