Tonight, I am finding myself a little stuck because I am facing a topic I know little of, innocence. At a very young age, men stole my innocence by violating me in addition to other forms of abuse.
The sad reality is that many children have their innocence stolen from them. So what now? Do we wallow in self-pity and fear the world around us? Do we allow the past to steal our future?
I challenge you to something better, to surviving, thriving, and overcoming the past. Let's make a stand and tell our abusers that they may have stolen our innocence by "educating" us at a young age but they cannot dictate our future. They cannot take our happiness away.
Stand strong, stand proud. Overcome shame and be proud of the fact that you did survive and can overcome anything the world may throw at us.
