You may have pierced your body parts one too many times.
So.
Some of the people that have read/will read this have been through difficult things that are similar to the difficult things I have been through. Some have been through much less, some have been through much more. Regardless of what your personal situation is, let me say this: I have spent time trying to help those close to me deal with their situations. I am not the type of person to offer judgment, apathy, or disregard.
I am a survivor of close to four years of sexual and physical abuse and assault. I have dealt the best that I can with how that has affected me, and am still trying to find a solution to my problems.
I may not have the foresight, experience, or ability to fix your situation, but I will do everything I can to help you find the most healthy resolution you can.
That being said:
If you are having a hard time finding a person who will sympathize with you, empathize with you, or simply listen, I offer myself as that person. I promise you that I will not judge you for the situation(s) you find yourself in. I understand that noone is perfect and that we all have our own decisions to make. I will offer advice where wanted or warranted.
And, for those who have not yet understood it, I offer the Litany Against Fear. (btw, thanks, sonofabritsch. I couldn't have done this without you.)
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
For those who still fear the night, or walking alone, or any of the manifold situations where people can be assaulted, I recommend pepper spray. This stuff sucks, trust me. Noone with a desire to accost you will have any desire to do so after a facefull of this.
Be Well.
Much Love,
