I want to be able to walk down the street of my hometown alone again. Maybe in numbermore years it's something I could be able to do.

Healing for me was learning to love myself again. I had felt worthless. It is being comfortable in myself. It is knowing what a healthy relationship is and knowing that the abuse i suffered was not my fault.

Healing is been strong in yourself and believing every day that you did not do anything wrong. It was all on the Perpetrator. I have healed and so can anyone. I will never forget. It does leave pivotal marks and edelible scars but you have to live your life and be happy every day and know that you are a Survivor.
