I have no idea where any of these scars came from. But ask me a question about someone having abused me or my trust. Someone who mentally and verbally abused me and I can point to it name the person and every detail. Be patient with those whose scars aren’t visible. We try as best we can to pretend our pain doesn’t exist because we don’t want to burden anyone else. #Survivor #IamNotAVictim #IAmASurvivor there’s a huge difference (at Laval-Des-Rapides, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCfCS-oDTFb/?igshid=1gqueq4hbrn84

Listening to TD Jakes this morning and his interview with Charlamange tha God, one part truly resonated with me. People who have been fondled as a child always feel unworthy, like they are toys stuck on the shelf. It hurts how true that is. I never feel like I belong, I didn't fit in, and never felt worthy. The sad thing is that when my abuser said that he did not want relationship with me because it was too painful how I treat him like a toy on a shelf that I play with only when I want. Funny, I tried to fix our relationship to fix me. I wanted to feel worthy but he never acknowledged how he hurt me. It was always someone else's fault that his life turned out that way. Like it was my fault that he hurt me, a child who depended on that person as a protector. As Bishop Jakes said, I have to own the fact that I am worthy. I tell people all the time, "Why do you try so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out." It's time I eat my own words and own it. I am worthy! #iamasurvivor #iamnotavictim #iamworthy #acceptingandowningit #holdingbacknomore #itsoktostandout https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdQUxPFVHk_n-qdvfe0D9OJF9jzIoii2341AU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1edzc82mbcubo

My smile is a little awkward and my heart was overwhelmed. I always get so emotional when i attend events like this but my passion and fire to advocate and bring awareness about sexual abuse is greater than any fear or anxiety I may feel. Now expecting I'm having many thoughts and emotions. I sometimes fear of having a girl because of the thing i went through I just couldn't imagine that happening to my baby girl. But I trust in the Lord with all my heart. It can be hard as a survivor to put yourself out there but when you think of others more than yourself you can look past all that. Im so proud of Abrianna Morales and her heart to do events like this. Such a young lady do BIG and amazing things. I'll continue to pray for your organization ❤ can't wait for the other pics!

To the psychopath sociopath who’s still probably stalking me, reveling in every failure I post about, I want you to know it’s your fault. You’re responsible for all of it. Every. Single. Part. But I won’t keep failing. As soon as I heal from every scar you ever gave me, I’m going to be more powerful than you ever thought possible.

   Hello there, my (user) name is “iamnotavictim.”  I choose this name because having a label is NOT how I define myself.  If you or someone you hold dear to labels themselves or has been given a label or two, tell them and yourself this: YOU define yourselves, not an ideology, person, career, religion, society, and etc. 

   I define myself by my given name, Christina. “Christina” comes with many labels, but I am still Christina no matter what HAS happened, IS happening or WILL happen. Past, present, and future “Christina,” is still who I define myself to be.

   Welcome to the introduction of “iamnotavictim” blogs.
