About

Hi there!

​

Welcome.

​

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is B., at least, that is what I go by here until I am ready for the world to know the face this story belongs to. 

I started this blog as an outlet for myself after I was sexually assaulted by a friend. 

For 8 months, I suffered in silence while I created absurd narratives in my head in an attempt to rationalize what happened, praying it didn't happen. 

​

I slowly became a different person. I lost all of my self-worth, my self-esteem. I became a shell of myself merely trying to survive. 

​

7 months after my assault, I confided in a 'friend', weeks later in the wee hours of the morning she texted my partner telling him I stepped out on our relationship. He did not believe her, but I took this opportunity to tell him the truth about what happened. 

​

When he found out it was a close friend of mine he changed his mind and ended our relationship. 

​

I was accepted to a Sexual Assault Centre not long after my trauma was outed and my (amazing!) therapist encouraged me to start a blog, so here we are!

I am not a writer, although I love writing and wish I had that talent, I do not. With that being said these blogs are messy. They are my truth, my story and are as honest as I can be at this point in my journey.

I share insights, things that have helped me, and things I have learned along my healing journey because I understand how unbelievably lonely this journey can be, I am here.

Please feel welcome to come on this journey with me. I believe it takes a village, let us heal together.. 

​​

..and know, I BELIEVE YOU!

In love, light & solidarity,
B.
