Triggered.

I have retyped an intro for this blog multiple times. I am struggling to find the words to describe what I am feeling.

Trigger warning ⚠️ rape*

I was raped. I said no. I cried. But I couldn't move. I couldn't open my eyes. I couldn't feel. Afterward, I prayed for God to take my life. I prayed all of me would disappear.

I look back on that moment from time to time that even in that very moment I was still fighting.

I was praying. I was weak. I was ashamed.

But I still prayed that I was free from everything especially the pain I was feeling. And yet here I am free. Free to be me. Free to speak my truth. And free to fly ❤️

I pray any person sees how strong they are and beautiful. I hope while you're reading this you find it in you to LIVE another day. You are here. You are seen. I see you and you are stunning!

Sexual assault happens to a lot of people everyday. And I pray we learn to speak out against it and find our voices through it all.

You are stronger than you can ever imagine 🙏🏽❤️

Don't forget it.
