1 in every 4 girls will be raped before they reach age 18. When a woman is raped, she not only has to suffer and recover from physical damages, but also her mental oppression. Rape victims are likely to smoke, drink, overeat, and let themselves get into life endangering situations. Out of all the women who have been raped, not even half report it due to fear, but what if one woman can make a difference by fighting for herself and others by standing up from her fears?
I am a daughter of a feminist and a fighter myself as I march and write and call my senators. The voice is very important and The Handmaid's Tale was pushed onto me by my mother as it has been her favorite book. I want to take this opportunity to share my own short story on fighting for better chances for women.

It's Okay to Use Your Big Girl Voice
Inside you will find a mixture of both, extremely RAW and refreshingly HEALING accounts of my personal war with my past. Unfortunately, Childhood sexual abuse is far too common, and many of share similar experiences. Looking back, what I could have used more than anything was someone to tell me "You're not alone, there is a lightness through the darkness, you can heal from this and most importantly don't EVER stop telling your story to make others comfortable". I've learned that silence is the best weapon for a predator, and I for one, have never been really good at doing what I'm told. I don't intend on starting now. I wear my scar as reminder that I hold the power in my own story, it is mine to tell and I won't make myself sick keeping quiet because my truths are hard to swallow, other people's comfort is not my problem. My Goal is rather simple, to let the readers know, they too are not alone. If you are a survivor, even if you still feel like a victim, this is my personal message to you. "You are strong, and it wasn't your fault. Tell someone... tell anyone...tell everyone... We shift from victims to survivors when we speak up and tell our stories. There's nothing wrong with you, and the light will shine again. The longer you sit in silence the more power your abuser still holds over you, wipe your face warrior, because there's a lion right inside of you, DONT EVER GIVE UP!" *This story is FULL of TRIGGERS, please be careful reading if triggers are hard for you, your mental health matters* *I own all the Rights to all parts of this book*
Gone Beyond: The Queen Of Dark
Would you rather be compassionate or powerful? Be scared or be feared? Be called a witch or be vicious for real? When everyone wishes to see you in the cage of their conservative, misogynistic power hungry mindset, what are your options other than fighting tooth and nail for your very being? You could always choose to live in suffocation as men keep sucking the very oxygen out of your lungs but would you rather be named a danger or be one? There is a devil to pay for every triumph and there is revenge to collect for every trauma. The difference is how much are you willing to invest and how much are you willing to risk? Would you fight your fate for your faith to be the good one as they expect you to be or would you betray them all for the dark side?

Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.Concluida
