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.

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.

I think everyone's journey to healing is different. Personally it has been a endless amount learning and acceptance.

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 is ongoing. Healing is a rollercoaster. Healing can feel frustrating and powerful and ugly and beautiful. Healing is surviving another day. Healing is finding strength even when you think you don’t have any (because you always do, it’s already in you).
Report
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 so many things... accepting what happened, sitting with how I feel, reading other's stories, telling trusted people what happened, writing, drawing, walking...

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.

You are going to be okay, recovery and healing is a long painful road. But you are still here and you are still fighting, talk to someone. You are not alone and you are loved.

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 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.

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.
