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

Thank you so much, it means a lott to me
It's not easy imaging something we haven't experianced.
Sometimes impossible, butit's not strange at all, we have nothing to build on.
I for sure, didn't know how it felt until it happens.
The wors was the guilt I felt myself, was i my fault? That questionalways rip you to pieces.
Toke me years to figure out, to understand that I had nothing to feel guilt for.
Iam standing uo here, not only for myself,
but really trying to make a diffrence for others in situasions like this.
Thank you so much, again

Thank you so much for your nice comment
When I think back, when I first posted this, I was terrified.
Like most people exsperiancing something likethis, is.
But it really helps, later.
Now I work 3 days a month in a Resource Center for rape victims, old and young, they can be very young
But the point is,I am strong, I try to use this experiance t help others.
Because people needhelp..

Of course hun
Oh wow, it's such a terrible thing it never really gets spoken about, which is never good for any of the victims if they need to let it out. It's so admirable that you've taken your experience and want to help others in situations similar to yours.

Kind of used this idea in a story I'm planning, well the idea that men who rape aren't real men.
Here's a hug for your troubles. Not sure if if will actually work, but still the gesture means something.

I'm really so sorry that happened, and what you write on your hand is correct. You are incredible for coming forward and talking about it, I'm sure I couldn't do it.
/soapbox In the USA imo we have an issue of violence against women and we need WAY more awareness and stiffer penalities. /soapbox
Please hang in there and don't let those d-bags affect how you feel about yourself!

Oh my Goddess, I'm so sorry
I haven't been raped, but I know the horror of being the victim of attempted rape (twice).
I think you're very brave for doing this (especially as the internet is full of insensitive pricks) and this pic gets the point across in a simple and effective way

I am really ok now, but it took me some years, sadly.
Now it helps making a point out of it (like the photo),
also helping others in the same situastion.
