I was raped four years ago. I will never forget what happened to me, but that doesn't mean I can't overcome it. My body is mine and no one will ever touch me in that way again, and even more importantly, my mind is mine. I want to help others going through what I am. Just like everyone else who's ever been through rape or sexual assault, I am finding my way. It may take me a while, but slowly and steadily, I am healing. People know who I am, and know that people are raped, but don't know I am someone who was raped. I would like to keep it that way; I don't want people to look at me differently or treat me differently. Only someone who has been raped can know what it is like to go through what I am going through, but I'm going to try to my best to show others (who haven't had this kind of experiance) what it is like to go through it. There are plenty of stories about rape, but none about what happens after rape (at least not any that don't end in suicide) We live in a world where it is shameful to have been sexually assualted or raped. I want to change that.
