What you Deserve

Silence has for sometime been our cloak of necessity. We have for some time had no option but to keep everything that was done to us to ourselves. We have had to suffer in silence alone, fearing the repercussions if we told. We no longer have to be silent, we no longer have to keep their secrets. There is nothing to feel ashamed or guilty about. Sexual Violence is not something you brought upon yourself, it was not something you chose, it was not something you enjoyed (even though at times your body may betrayed you), you were not an active participant in your assault. Take the time to congratulate yourself for surviving, for making it through each and everyday with all that you were carrying. Don't be hard on yourself for your coping mechanisms, you did what you needed to help you survive. It is not time to move from survival mode to a journey to healing. The coping mechanisms you used in the beginning that are unhealthy begin to replace with more healthy alternatives. Find you voice and let you voice be heard. Speak what you have wanted to for years, release your pent up feelings and begin to put yourself first. Believe that you are worthy of a life that is happy, believe that you deserve better than the hand you have been dealt. YOU ARE BRAVE, WORTHY & STRONGER THAN YOU REALIZE. Celebrate Sexual Assault Prevention & Awareness month with us. FIND YOUR VOICE. USE IT TO PROPEL YOURSELF TO GREATER HEIGHTS. BEGIN YOUR HEALING JOURNEY.
