#damagedbutnotbroken

Still working through last year's life changes... Closer to a 'normal' this last month. Hopefully I can.play catch up on here and will start sharing some of the amazong pics and.vids from the quality time I had with friends and loved ones through the rest of 2018 and the beginning of 2019. #damagedbutnotbroken #notdefeated #keeppushing #strongerbecauseihadtobe https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQh194n1nGnpgQxIzo8ZUgWQc32j3jSXiId6k0/?igshid=gmzy5q75vxw8

I feel this so deeply. #damagedbutnotbroken #survivor #cautiouslyoptimistic https://www.instagram.com/p/BrIX18Cn21aAIbavrm2G3urVxO_PUDrlmO8NKA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t7nu4jir8i80

I am tired of being put down because I am smart. I am tired of being put down because of my weight. My self confidence is shattered. What is self confidence anymore? Is it that woman who pulls down that mask every morning? Is it that woman who seeks out to best who she can? Is it the woman who stands in the back of the room hiding from everyone's eyes? To me it is the woman who can't be moved. The woman who stands up for her beliefs and rights. The one that says here I am. That is someone I strive to be. I am a victim of sexual assault not one or twice but three times. My story is hidden inside because I was told I wanted it and that no one would believe me. I have three friends at best and only one who tries to talk to me everyday.
