It has been really hard for me to delve into these experiences-- experiences which I would prefer to put behind me, and to pretend didn't happen. Many times during this process I have broken down and cried; these times are traumatic and not ones I look forward to. It is ok to tell people that what happened is none of their business, and that I prefer not to talk about it. However, I have learned a lot from my experiences and now it is time to take responsibility, to never forget, and rather to use these experiences to focus on a better future.
