Again. Sexual assault is hardly ever a man hiding in a bush or an alley. It’s a friend’s brother, a uncle, a “mentor”, a dad, a coworker, It’s y’alls homeboys. It was a guy I was dating who thought he’d waited long enough.
I don’t agree. Ppl think being healed equals unbothered. Being healed is being emotionally mature enough to recognize when things are bothering you and strong enough to walk away from anything that doesn’t serve you.
I’m constantly reminding myself that in order to step into the life I want I have to reject the things I don’t want. I have to reject offers of romance that aren’t what I need fully. Reject friendships that don’t push me forward. Most importantly reject the spirit of fear.
