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

To post this on here means you carry an enormous amount of strength inside you that can't be described by words, you must be an example for other women who have been through the same thing, an example to show them that one must not bury herself in misery and give up on life but stand up and build whatever that was shattered in her. I really hope and pray that you will never have any other bad experiences in your life of any kind
God Bless You

Thank you so much, it was a really lovely comment.
I would hardly call myself an example, but I see what you mean.
But people are different, and the way is both hard and long,and with out the right encouragement, it can be twice as hard.
When I finaly accepted what had happend wasn't my fault, I was ready to fight back, but it's hard, it's will allways be hard, but it gets easier
Thank you

it often turns out well.

Oh wow, your so brave and strong. I have been through sexual harassment and stuff at school by a boy who wanted to, but rape itself? Your to strong, your right, real men dont rape or hit even. What has this dirty, immature world come to?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sexual harrasment is a really serious thing,you never know how far it will go, in the end.
And the pain it causes the victim can be very strong, and can dange a person for many years, maybe forever.
I am really sorry, and I hope it has stopped now and that you are doing good
Thank you for your kind comment, it is allways good with people that acctually cares

Whoa, just...whoa
This, I understand, must be a difficult time for you. I've never been through this myself, and I'm very grateful for a clean life. But for you, I can only give advice that may or may not affect you:
The past is a very real, very dangerous enemy. It eats our courage and determination to continue in life. We have two options as humans: We can do nothing and let that past devour us until we are just ghosts of our former selves. Or, we can conquer that fear, forget about it, accept that it happened, and continue with life. The first may seem easier to do, but if we compare the two in the end, we will be much more satisfied if we do the second. We may or may not fully forget it, but at least we won't let our past keep down our bright future.
I still remember when I first thought of that, when I learned I was diagnosed with autism...

Thank you so much for your comment, it means a lot.
It is true, we have to stand up, take action.
The past is a part of us, wether we like it or not, we can't run from it, the best we can do,
is to accept it, find a way.
If you let go of the ghosts form the past, then you can trully live your life as you want it.
I am sorry to here about you diagnosis, you seem like you have found your peace with it, thou.
I hope you have

Thank you. Although we may never fully forget our darkest moments, we can find peace within ourselves. United, we can help each other in our hard lives, to see the good in them. We are one web of life, all understanding eachother's grief.
I suggest thanking yourself for being strong

I have so much respect for you. I have never experienced anything like what you've gone through, and I cannot imagine ever being in that situation--the idea scares me to death. You're extremely brave for sharing your story--I know it must be difficult to relive something you don't want to remember.
