“Raise girls to be resilient, raise your voice to be heard and when silenced, raise it higher. In a household of girls, my parents always told me that I was to be educated so I wouldn’t have a man treat me less than I deserved. That I work so hard that I wouldn’t need a man to tell me I was not enough. So I persevered, I stood by morals and chose to educate myself with books and words. But I am still silenced at times for calling myself a feminist, for speaking a little too forcefully, laughing too loudly, and writing too freely. I then understood that I was a woman, a woman with a voice who spoke for all woman who were afraid to. A boy fears a woman who is strong and educated, don’t worry because you don’t need him. If you know who you are, what you do and you are proud. That is all you need, you is all you need. “

- g.d (to all the woman)

One day you’ll look back at these rough days

and you’ll realize how stronger you’ve become.

How smarter you’ve become.

Bad moments exist to forge you into something unbreakable,

into something your younger self will be proud of.

So cry your heart out if you need, punch the walls if you need.

Just remember that the phoenix needs to burn first.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!

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.

You are here today and honestly I am so proud of you, you are loved not only by me, but also by so many other people! I’m happy you’re here today.

Look at you, a warrior. Fighting this battle. Fear not, you will win. You are strong .｡:+♡*

Things people rarely say:

•it is okay if you fall out of love and you dont know why, you are not a bad person

•your mental stability will always be more important than your s/o. You need a healthy relationship with yourself as much as you need one with others

•you have every right to remove yourself out of any relationship that you are not 100% happy and feel safe in. Be your own protector, remove yourself from the hazardous people.

•you’re not required to explain yourself to anyone that asks why you’re relationship ended. Your life, your relationship. Your business.

Please,

Be your own priority. You deserve to love and appreciate and care for yourself. Self-love is the strongest form of love you can receive, and it only comes from yourself.

I love you, now you gotta love you too.

You are enough

If anyone is struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, a disease or any social issue, know that my blog is open if you want to talk about it because you shouldn’t be left alone in your pain, everyone deserves to talk about their feelings. If you don’t want to talk about it to your surroundings, it may be easier to express yourself to someone that don’t know you but won’t judge you.

I’m going to post in a little while the experience with my disease :)
