How did I go from below 100 views to almost 30 views above 100?! I’m grateful. Extremely grateful that some people out there can relate to my content and read my writing, my thoughts, my feelings.

Ever since coming to terms with my traumas, I’ve wanted to help give others the same courage to tell their story, and this blog was how I wanted to get my foot in that door to that goal. My purpose, aside from my own self-expression, is to help others get out of the rut of denial. It took me years to finally come to terms to the fact that I was raped. It took me more years to finally process it. I literally do not remember anything between those years from being raped to facing it. And the only reason I faced it was because I got courage from two amazing women from a podcast (My Favorite Murder) who shared their own struggles and advocate for victims, survivors, therapy. I just want to pay it forward. I want to change lives like they changed my life. Attributing the growth of the person I am today to them is such an understatement. Without their courage, I don’t know where I’d be. Without their adamant sayings of “Fuck politeness,” “Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered,” their endless advocacy for victims/survivors and therapy, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I truly wouldn’t.

Cheers to milestones.
