Rape Doesnt Define Me Who I Am

By Larry Johnson


To write about what happened to you or to talk about things like your rape is not an easy thing to do, you require a lot of courage to do so. It is very hard to deal with this situation and getting out from this problem is almost impossible and yet it was the most horrible thing ever happened but still you should always remember that rape doesnt define me

It may be the case that he took you out for a date and that night wound up with taking without end the most valuable thing from you. It may be the case that even after the episode you would need to encounter a similar individual again particularly in the event that he was your companion or associate.

In order to feel the true sadness of such thing, consider this particular story where a girl got raped by her dear friend and he planned a date with her and they went on a beautiful date and that night it ended up with her loud screams. Now, its hard for her to forget that night ever and the days after that incident were even more worse as her friend who raped her was actually her university fellow as well.

The girl started to avoid getting closer to men because it felt like they can hurt and she used to feel very dirty and tainted. Then a time came when she started questioning herself that how did she even allowed something like this to happen and why it happened.

You feel like you cannot cope up with the world anymore and its hard for you to return back to your normal day to day routine.`` Since you can't give anybody authorization to take control over you life and exacerbate it for you.

During that time, she worked on herself and was back to live her life. You should not give permission to others to control your life for you and its important to try to get back to normal as soon as possible otherwise more complication arises. You have to face your assaulter and look them back straight into their eyes to make them aware that you're not scared of them anymore.

Till this day, there are people who want to keep this topic hushed away and they think if such problem comes out in open, it will not be a good thing. The fact its, with time people are becoming more intelligent and they like talking about problems and issues so you should try to contribute as much as you can.

It can take a very long time for you to recount your story after such an episode yet you ought to never feel embarrassed about yourself since it was not something that happened as a result of you or you were not to blame. You will experience numerous stages of recovery and there will be a time when you would start to learn and trust others all over again. Assault can't characterize your identity it was only a terrible incident or even of your life however its over now.
