I met Micah through the internet’s. His emerging views of the church and the story of his breakaway we’re a comfort to me as I sought my own freedom. We became friends and banter about on facebook. His lovely wife is one of my best friends and has a goal of teaching me of teaching me to climb a tree!! It’s our hope for the summer.
It’s an honor to be sharing at his place.
This is the second time I’ve written about this. The first time was a few days ago. But the words didn’t sound right. They sounded, honestly like someone who has been scripted to talk about abuse in a nonchalant way. That is how I speak of much of my trauma and experiences that I have had in light of simply having breasts and a vagina.
The story that belongs to #YesAllWomen is all of our stories. I do not know a single woman alive who hasn’t experienced something on the spectrum of harassment, stalking, abuse, rape, or even death. Not one of our stories is identical, yet as women we are all intrinsically bound. Our stories are unique to us but with the power of speaking out and sharing our experiences we can stand together and say “ME TOO.”

I just read your story over on Redemption Pictures.
I cannot even put in to words what I feel right now.
I’ve never been raped; I don’t recall (honestly) any time in which I have ever been actively harassed or otherwise, although I do remember one hazy occasion when I was about 8 or 9 where I came perilously close to being assaulted at a party I accompanied my parents to.
All that being said, your story has made a very big, achy hole in my heart and I hope and pray you continue to reach for the light and goodness in life.
Following your blog now, too.
Grace and peace to you!! ❤
