The Star to every wandering Bark

You surprised me today, called me out of the blue just to see how I was. My heart melted. It makes it very hard for me to deny to myself how much I love you when you do stuff like this. I don’t know when my life became a Jason Mraz song.

I haven’t forgotten, and I will not forget. It is a part of who I am. My memories include the day I finally got away. The day I stopped telling myself that it wasn’t that bad, that it could be worse. The day I decided to survive. Look at the healing you see in these photographs. It is amazing, empowering and on going. We need to put an end to abuse, assault, and the shame that it leaves behind because each of us deserves happiness, peace, and safety. This is my way of surviving. Of reclaiming myself and my identity. He cannot take it from me, I may never be whole but I am stronger for what was taken from me.
