Fair Haven - What Not to Say to a Victim of Sexual Assault
Please share!! By survivors for survivors is the MOST valid and best type of resource for anything sexual assault/abuse/trauma related.
LIFE IS ALREADY DIFFICULT ENOUGH FOR US AS SURVIVORS OF ABUSE AND ASSAULT. THE LAST THING WE NEED IS PEOPLE WHO ARE PURPOSEFULLY TRYING TO PREY ON OUR WEAKNESSES OR MAKE US FEEL LIKE IT WAS DESERVED BECAUSE IT WAS 100% NOT. THE OPINIONS OF THOSE PEOPLE DO NOT MATTER. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, YOU KNOW YOUR TRUTH, YOU KNOW YOURSELF. THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PROVE YOURSELF TO ANYBODY. PEOPLE WHO WOULD EVEN THINK TO PUT YOU DOWN BECAUSE OF YOUR TRAUMA OR PURPOSEFULLY ENXOURAGE IT HAPPENING AGAIN ARE HORRIBLY SICK AND HAVE THEIR OWN VERY EXTENSUVE ISSUES AND HEALING TO DO, THEIR HATE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU OR THE VALIDITY OF YOUR TRAUMA. YOU ARE 100% VALID. YOU KNOW YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH. YOU KNOW HOW REAL IT IS. YOU KNOW THAT THEY COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND. YOU ARE SO STRONG.

It took me over a year to do any Moana requests. It hit too close to home since I lost my very own Gramma Tala that very year. But I seriously love drawing her. .

Every single relationship is different. You have your mother, father, siblings, friends, lovers, boyfriends, girlfriends and the like. But as mentioned many times all over the place, the most important relationship you have is the one with yourself. If you can’t love you, then nobody will be able to. Being able to love yourself is accepting who you are, who you will be, and who you want to be.
Some relationships help you figure out a direction to go, some help you grow as a person, but do any really affect what you think about yourself? Sure, in a small sense, they do. But they do not always call for you to accept yourself. There were so many songs at the end of 2010 that were all about being yourself and just to screw the world if it says anything about it. That, my friends, is the key to being happier than you were. Even if you think you were the happiest guy or gal walking down the block, you’ll be ten times happier knowing you don’t give a flying hoot about what people think.
Love yourself. Be good to yourself. When you can do those two things proudly, invite someone in to love you and be good to you, on top of you doing those things for you!
G'night,
C.D.

February was all about #LifeGivingRelationships: become a “Life-Giving Person”, what is a “Life-Giving Relationship”, & “What Kills Good Relationships”.
Last @jpcc’s @datekg36 sharing about this theme is “How to Handle Aggression That Potentially Kills Good Relationships” by @diandraepifania. To the very least, you want to protect yourself & protect your relationship with the person who hurt you. But to your very best, you want to carry out the Great Commandment & Commission.
The Basic Tips are:
#1 Don’t let the aggression get to you. You need to guard your heart (Proverbs 4:23), because that’s what makes your choices, & your choices determine how you want to live your life. Once we have the right heart, the strong heart, we can..
#2 Think. Be careful before acting is important; only when we do it we can..
#3 Act accordingly, which is compassion.
When you face aggression you need to have your #shield & the (unseathed) #sword. Somebody can strike you down with sword, but because you always keep your shields up, they cannot harm you. And while you need to carry your sword all the time, you must not use it (Luke 22: 36-38, Luke 22:49-51, Matthew 26:52), because only by this you can show the people who hurt you: “Hey, look. You hurt me. And as you can see, I can hurt you back with my sword, but I won’t do it!” As Paul made it clear in Rome 12: “Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. Do not take revenge, leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”says the Lord. In doing this, you’ll heap burning coals on his head.”
As we act out these 3 tips, it is our #soul that makes all the decisions. In order to do them automatically, exercising our #Spirit is crucial. Galatians 5:22-23 describes all the #FruitsOfTheSpirit which can help us strengthen our shields & use our unsheathened swords more comfortably. #Love,#joy, #peace, #patience, #kindness, #goodness, #faithfulness,#gentleness, #selfcontrol; they’re internally driven,not situation-based & can be part of our character. Once it becomes our character, we can effortlessly express them in our actions, inc. when we face aggression. (at Kondominium Menara Kelapa Gading)

But the fruit of the Spirit is
#love,
#joy,
#peace,
#forbearance,
#kindness,
#goodness,
#faithfulness,
#gentleness, and
#selfcontrol.
Against such things there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23). Exercise these fruits and nobody shall be against you.
