On September 22, 2015 I was raped by my best friend. Someone that I trusted with my life. I'm not posting this because I want people to feel sorry for me, but because I know some where out there is a girl that is going through the same thing I was. I wanna let you know that you're not just a victim, and you're not a survivor, you're a warrior. Something didn't just happen to you, and you didn't just survive, but you fight everyday to get back to how you used to be before it all. It's only been a few months but I've already learned so much. I hope that this will help you, and I'm not saying that I know what you're going through or how you feel because I don't. But keep your head up and always remember: 1. It's not your fault. There might have been something that you could have done differently, but that wouldn't have guaranteed a different result. 2. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You did nothing wrong. He/she violated you. 3. It's okay to be weak sometimes. You're gonna feel a need to be strong and "not let him win", but sometimes you just need to cry, and that's okay. 4. You did not deserve it. No matter what he/she might have said you did not deserve it. Nobody deserves to have that peace of mind, and sense of safety and security taken away. 5. Hold on, the pain ends. Things can only get better if you let it. Just because people stop trying to talk to you about it, it doesn't mean they don't care. Just because you don't think about it all the time anymore, it doesn't meant it didn't happen. It means you're moving forward. It means that although something terrible happened to you, you decided to be strong and move on. You are strong enough to get through this, because you are a warrior.
