Rape Doesnt Define Me At All

By Larry Johnson


The most horrible, unpleasant and stressing memory for anybody could be something which is exceptionally aggravating for their well being and physical assault is one of such horrendous circumstances. It is difficult to examine this issue however you need to continue trusting that regardless of what happened or how awful it was, yet at the same time rape doesnt define me.

It could be that he took you out for a date and that night ended up with taking away the most precious thing from you. It could be that even after the incident you would have to come face to face with the same person again especially if he was your friend or colleague.

This is a genuine story of a young lady and after that episode she began abstaining from going in grounds eating corridors and rec center since that individual used to be there and she needed to stay away from him as much as she could. Her life was simply spinning around how to maintain a strategic distance from that assaulter and she began to bargain her timetables and quality in light of that individual. After she got assaulted she was not able trust men around her.

In the beginning she started avoiding to go to university and she used to hide here and there so she cannot face that person and tried to avoid going in dining halls and gym because he used to be over there. It was kind of like a hide and seek game for a couple of months.

There was a time when that girl started avoiding men and she did not wanted to get closer to men and there was a constant feeling that you are not clean because he raped you. You will face tough times questioning your own self that how did you even let this whole thing happen in the first place. At that time she decided she needs a break from everything.

During that time, she worked on herself and was back to live her life. You should not give permission to others to control your life for you and its important to try to get back to normal as soon as possible otherwise more complication arises. You have to face your assaulter and look them back straight into their eyes to make them aware that you're not scared of them anymore.

That was the time when she at last chose to help different casualties who were experiencing this circumstance since it gave her inclination that by helping other people she can really deliver retribution from her assaulter and demonstrating to him that her life has not halted on account of this occurrence and she is certainly not a frail individual.

It can take years for you to tell your story after such an incident but you should never feel ashamed of yourself because it was not something that happened because of you or you were not at fault. You will go through many emotional phases and although what happened to you was horrible but still you have to learn how to trust people again. Rape cannot define your personality it was just a very bad phase of you life and it was a horrible time but things do get better with time all you need is faith.
