It gets easier to process with time. It never goes away but it does get smaller in my mind.
Dear reader, this message contains language of self-harm that some may find triggering or discomforting.

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 is owning your story, it’s allowing yourself to process what has happened.

Healing is a very simple word for a very complex process. Be gentle with letting the fog lift, and letting the light shine on what you tried to hide. It's worth it to come out on the other side a changed person. A healthy, boundary setting, healed version of yourself that deserves the world.

I'm trying not to judge myself and be kind to myself and to not blame myself. What would I say to a friend? I try to say that to myself.

I spent years suffering in silence so now I'm choosing to heal out loud

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.

It does get better and no matter what, always remember: ITS NOT YOUR FAULT! I am doing much better now and I am in a stable and loving relationship with a respectful guy almost 2 years later. You are loved and you are strong. You got this!

I hope that sharing my story will help others to realize we all have broken places, but we are not broken. Since that day in 2007, I became the CEO of my own company, ideated patents and healed.

Always remember it is NEVER your fault. Don't let people twist your mind into thinking you caused anything of what happened to you. The problem lies with the PERPETRATORS and the ABUSERS. THEY are the ones who have the problem, NOT YOU. Find those that DO support you, and keep them close and in your heart.
