Truth Within The Lies

     I am going to apologize once again for not being active in my blog, the past few months I’ve been struggling mentally and I needed to focus on myself. After going through my blog I found a comment that I would love to address. It states that the person who assaulted me did not rape me and that I forced him to f**k me. I want start saying no he did not get as far as rape and I have never said that he did rape me I said it was a sexual assault and for the other part of their statement, this is not true. Guys like this tend to hide behind lies to make themselves feel better.

    We can’t control other people but we can control ourselves. Not everyone is going to believe us and I’m going to say this time and time again but don’t be afraid to tell your story! There is no good reason I would waste my time writing a blog and talking about it for years if it was a lie. People sometimes have a hard time understanding difficult topics so they side with the easier thing to believe but that is not ok. Not everyone is going to believe you and don’t expect that from people. But just remember they weren’t there, nobody truly understands what happens except for you. Stay strong with your truth, things will be ok.

Coping through College

  Hey guys, I know it’s been a while and I apologize for my absence. I decided to step down and take a break from my blog so I could take the time to focus on my mental health. Here is a little life update on my end. I’m currently a freshman in college working to get myself a degree in costume design. I’ve currently worked on two Broadway productions, Hamilton and Aladdin which were truly life changing experiences. I have a pet cat named Peaches whom I adore and I also have a pet gecko named Mango whom I equally love. Being a college student is definitely a challenge in itself but I want to take a second to talk about what it’s like for someone who has been sexually assaulted in the past. College comes with a lot of fun and exciting opportunities but it also comes with a lot of triggers. For me personally it’s hard to be on such a big campus, there are a lot of men here and I often find myself on edge. This is a normal feeling, being in that fight or flight response. There are a fe...

Rape Culture

    "Not All Men"     This seems to be a common term these days, and I agree not all men are rapists or abusers but every women has either experienced sexual assault, violence, or harassment. It seems like every girl has been a witness to this form of violence. There isn't a girl out there who wasn't sat down at a too young of age and told about what not to do so they don't get sexualized and there is something deeply wrong with that. Lately I've been really into poetry and I wrote a poem that reflects on this topic.     Witness A crime against a woman A man with no alibi The trial starts The truth will be found Some testify Some take a vow Wrong place  Wrong time They accuse the girl because of the skin he could see It does not matter the amount of skin she reveals The pain he caused her will never disappear He claims there was no boundaries set He claims that she said yes The jury looks at her with hateful eyes They are all men too No surprise  ...

My Assault Story

WARNING! CONTENT MIGHT BE SENSITIVE TO SOME VIEWERS! I’m going to share with you my story with being assaulted, if you are sensitive to this content please skip this post. Though I highly recommend you read it. It was a normal day. A good day even, HE was coming over and I absolutely could not wait to see him. I had everything ready. Games, popcorn, movies, the whole shebang! I just absolutely knew this was going to be the best day ever! And it was, until we got to the movie… We were watching a Superman movie. Just him, his brother, and I alone in my basement. At first everything was going just fine, we were all sitting there enjoying the movie. Then he asked the question… “Can I see it?” he asked. “No!” I said, horrified he’d even ask such a question. “Come on! Just a little peak!” he just pleaded leaning in closer to me. “NO!” I said firmly, trying to scoot away from him. He then grabbed my arm and yanked me towards him. “COME ON.” He whispered in my ear. He was getting more and mor...
