I’m from Southern California, born and raised. I’ve dealt with child sexual abuse for years - didn’t confront it until maybe 10 years after it all happened. I’m 29 now and with help of a solid support group and my therapist  - I’m beginning to have meaningful relationships with friends, significant others and family (sort of.) I was raped three years ago and even after going to the police with undeniable proof - they threw out my case, dismissed me like it didn’t matter three men took away a piece of my sanity. 

After that incident I couldn’t sleep at night - it brought back trauma from my childhood I didn’t even realize I had. So, I said screw it abs tried camming. It was something I would never do in 1 million years and now that I have I have a lot of respect for the women Who put all their work into this type of business because it is draining believe me. But it paid for my apartment. I paid for my therapy it paid for my food in the fridge the roof over my head for help me take care of my dog. I found a sense of independence after my sexual assault and I don’t have any shame in it. I obviously don’t broadcast it to my real career life - it pays my bills my real job does not. I think we can all relate to that at one point.

I am still healing from everything traumatic in my life and I am proud of it. Healing is not pretty - it is painful and it’s ugly and it’s hard. But it’s very much worth it. I know I still have a long ways to go but I can relate and empathize and hopefully be a positive example for anyone hurting.
