There are certain events in my life that have transpired in past few years that have made me who I am today. At times I would have labeled these events as traumatic or unfair, but I've grown wise enough to know that they happened for a reason. Maybe that reason was I needed to find my inner strength. Or maybe it's bigger than just me. I hope that I can use my story and my life to help others; first, my story must be told.
To tell my story is harder than it sounds. I don't know what the ending will be, I can't remember the really emotional parts and I'm extremely jaded when looking back at my past decisions. However that all doesn't really matter. What is important is that it's told, so that girls like myself know. After all, education is our most powerful ally. I believe that since I was ignorant of what was happening to me, it escalated into something no one should go through.
None of my words are meant to hurt. I simply feel I must be honest to move past this stage of my life. I know that a lot of this will be hard for me to write, but since I've made this decision, I feel compelled to write. This is the first time in years. That must mean something, right?
