• Update on Life

  July 8, 2009

  Since most of my time is spent sleeping, eating, or working out, life has been kind of boring. When I'm not doing one of those three things, I'm online looking for a job and browsing forums. But, yesterday, I actually DID something. Scott, the dad I never had, and I went to th...

• Two Poems

  June 20, 2009

  A long train of thoughts occurred before I decided to put these poems here. I wrote them a few years ago when I was still really having difficulty talking about being trafficked. I've shared them with a lot of people since I wrote them. The first one was read in front of the U...

• Time Heals All Wounds

  June 13, 2009

  For the longest time I didn't believe that time would heal my wounds, physical or emotional/psychological. It's been 11 years since the abuse ended, literally half my life has been lived without being raped or beaten. More importantly, half my life has been lived with experiences that were m...

  May 30, 2009

  September 11, 2008

  Mom, You would be 39 today. Isn't that hard to believe? There is so much you have missed the past 10 years. I've graduated high school and am a senior in college now. I'm hopefully going to go to grad school in clinical psychology or sports psychology. I still haven't learned to drive but am…

• Triggered

  August 16, 2008

  I was stocking books at my college bookstore today and I ran across a book I had shelved this past semester. It's in the Young Adult section and it's called "Sold" and is about a child being sold into prostitution. WHY this book is for young adults, I have NO clue. The first time I…

• Checking In

  July 21, 2008

  I guess I should update. Let's take one things at a time: Working Out - Taking this week off for the most part. I haven't been to the gym since Saturday and so far I'm okay with it. Normally I get super depressed when not working out, but I haven't noticed a difference. Sleeping -…

  Life would be so much easier without these memories, these thoughts The memories are like an illness that pops up out of nowhere at the worst possible time It doesn't matter that it's been years, a decade now, since any of those things happened They live on in my head like it was yesterday, not&h...
