I don’t want to call myself a victim, even though what you did destroyed me, made me question life, question myself. I’m still surviving, still working towards meeting myself. Not the person I was before any of this, but the person I will be after I’ve healed. I am not a victim because I do not feel like one. I am not yet a survivor because I am not yet over it. I am still not myself because you still haunt my life. Right now, I am just a person. One who has been dragged to hell and is just starting to crawl their way back. You tried to end my story, but you were just one bad chapter. I am the one controlling my actions and I will not be destroyed by yours.
I was sexually assaulted a couple months ago and I am just now starting to deal with everything that it has affected in my life.
