Brave writing, Christina. I felt heartbroken reading this. You've come such a long way; even I feel proud of you. I watched you on the TWDS webinar, so naturally I had to read your story :)) Brilliant writing!

This is so powerful. It's also testament to my fervent belief that authenticity is the universal path to happiness. The more we try to bury or hide ourselves, the more our self deception will come out in damaging ways. I'm so glad you are finally living and speaking your truth. Continue!

Thank you for calling this what it is : rape. It’s often not a stranger jumping out from the bushes and holding you down - it’s someone you know and trust.

This brought up so much in me that I have been avoiding for so, so very long. Thank you for having the courage to be your authentic self and share your truth and your story 🫶 also from a stylistic/craft standpoint, I really admire the way this piece is structured and paced.

sending lots of love and healing energy to you.

I saw this comment right before bed and it might have made me tear up...and not just because I was delirious with exhaustion. thanks, Kristen 🖤

I am very proud of you for letting the truth out. It is incredibly unfortunate how resilient you've had to learn to be,even if that strength will help you through rn. Ily
