Description
I know that lots of you out there maybe think of this as a cliche "well,I've seen something similar before.. so this is just a copy".. And so on.It is not a copy, I never saw this anywhere befor I made it myself.
This picture means a lot to me.
It may seem simple for you, maybe not that good a picture either, but it took me a lot of effort and courage to make it, an to post it here and on my blogg nearly scared the shit out of me. I really cried when I posted it.
I have experianced rape, twice.
The photo is made for a blog entrie about that experiance, and I promise you.. It was veeery hard for me to write.
I cried a lot.
I made myself more vunerable then I have ever been in my entire life.
I felt sick.
I exposed myself, showed the world my shame,
my secret...
I have come a long way.
Maybe I was lucky?
Maybe I am a fighter? I don't know.
But what I do know is that I have taken a really bad experiance and turned it to something positive.
It took me some years of denial, than some years in fear for that person, then came the year I acctually stood up and reported it to the police, of course nothing happend, exept for me beeing treathened by that man....
But I was building my own freedom, day by day.
Free from fear..For him.
Free from the pain and the agony.
Now I help others in situations like this thru a resource center, I work there a couple a day a month.
I can help others because I KNOW how it feels.
And I can help because I am strong, my own feelings and experiance doesn't afect mee... anymore.
Please, be kind. If you don't like this picture, it is totaly ok, of course.
But please keep it to yourself, don't share it with me.
Thank you for all your support, I appriciate it more than you can know.
Thank you

I haven't seen something like that before and I don't think it's a cliche nor that it could be in any way, but even if it was, even if I would see something like that all the time...It'd be worth copying, it's worth the message, it's worth saying! I wish I had your strength and bravery!

Thanks.
In a way I am, too..
It's been so long since it happend, but still, it affects me.
BUT, in a way it cahnged me, for the better. I would give much to take back what happend, but that also meen changing who I am today.
And that it's something I would never dream to do.
I find strength in believing that I am a better person that "them", and also, it strengthen me to know that I can help other.
And I do.

I love what you're doing. By doing this, it seems that you're setting yourself back or even in danger, when really, you're freeing yourself and thousands of others from loneliness in the prison of abuse and neglection's after-effects. You're not the first person I see doing this wonderful, powerful thing, and I just know you won't be the last. I can't help but think that if this were more common, the world could be a better place. I wonder what the journals and art of those in jail over anger and unforgiveness of their abuser would look like? You know, many criminals, predators, etc. were victims at a time, and are merely a host of the virus of pain itself. Nothing more, and still a human being. I bet some of them could contribute a good point like this.... just like hatred and pain can be discovered (or made) in the midst of the brightest of places; joy, light, and optimism can be found (or made) within the deepest of lifes darkest pits. I'm glad you found it in your heart to light this flame.

You're very brave, and you have more "balls" than this man will ever have :'), I have a friends who also experienced rape, and I've seen how destructive and depressed a person can be after that, and the fact that these men are never punished, really pisses me off, I wish the best for you
It's a very strong fierce and courageous photo

I literally understand exactly how it feels. I understood for 2 and a half years of incest. It doesn't go away though, it still haunts me, it always will.

No, it never ever goes away.. It is really hard to accept sometimes, but it gets easier,somehow.

My dear... i'm so sorry for all the hurt and all the loss you have felt. All of this...must just sting. I know I have never experienced something like this I hope I never have to. I really am truly sorry you did. I hope you know that in a sea of horrible people and dark things, there are people who really do love you. I sound like a hallmark card, and I'm just a kid.

Thank youso much for this very nice comment
I really appreciate it.
I hopeyou never ever have to experiance anything like this.
Nobody should.
But, no matter how bad it has been, it has made me to the person I am today,a person I am proud to be.
Isn't that strange?
Thank you again
