Hello monsters. This will definitely be one of my most serious posts, and I'm really nervous to be talking about it. I guess I'll just get started: I watched the Hunting Ground yesterday with a bunch of my friends and their parents. It really struck a chord in me for multiple reasons but the biggest one is this: I was sexually assaulted two years ago. It was by my boyfriend at the time (now my ex) and it was something that I've struggled with every single day. It was extremely confusing, because I was so young, and it was by someone who I thought loved and respected me. Those of you who knew me when I first joined LM.com probably suspected that something like this happened, because I was extremely depressed and I was constantly in therapy. I have also hinted at this in past posts. So anyway, yesterday after the movie I told my parents what happened. They reacted in a very kind, loving way. They reassured me that it wasn't my fault and that they loved me all the same if not more. They also said that I didn't have to tell them exactly what happened because they know I don't wanna relive the experience out loud, and that I never have to speak of it again unless I want or need to. This experience has tortured me constantly, and not a day goes by when I don't remember it. The good news is, not a day goes by when I'm able to move on a little more. I'm extremely happy now, I have wonderful friends, family, and an amazing girlfriend. My music has saved me and @gaga and the @bornthiswayfoundation have played a major role in me gaining my self confidence back. I haven't had the courage until now to own my past and say out loud that I survived, and I'm stronger and a better person because of it. I have decided to start a Sexual Assault Awareness Movement at my high school, with the purpose of educating the students on how to avoid these dangerous situations, and also what to do if a person does become a victim of this violence. I want to use my story for good, and as a sign that it does get better and that no one is alone. I want you all to know, my beautiful monster family, that I am ok now. I'm happy. I'm here for you. You are all amazing souls, and you have given me so much strength. Thank you for listening. I will end this post as I end them all, I love you monsters. Be yourself.
