https://padlet.com/jovlatty08/mdnso1jop995eb6j An open letter to my younger self after Sexual Assault. Do you have anything you'd like to tell your younger self? Post it here anonymously. en-us 2023-04-04 14:28:55 UTC 2026-01-14 21:48:57 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/2013570945/0c705950266241e55d376d5cdf56c349/jov1.jpg https://padlet.com/jovlatty08/mdnso1jop995eb6j/wish/2543792720 Dear younger self,

I know you're hurting right now. I know you're feeling alone, scared, and ashamed. But I want you to know that what happened to you was not your fault. You didn't do anything to deserve it, and you didn't ask for it. What happened to you was a terrible violation, and it's okay to feel angry, sad, or anything else that you're feeling right now.

Please don't blame yourself for what happened. You didn't cause it, and you couldn't have prevented it. The responsibility for the assault lies solely with the person who did it to you. It's important to remember that you are not alone. There are people who care about you and who want to help you through this. You don't have to go through this by yourself.

There will be good days and bad days, and that's okay. Be patient and gentle with yourself, and don't be afraid to seek help when you need it.

Most importantly, remember that you are strong, and you will get through this. You are not defined by what happened to you. You are a survivor, and you will thrive. You have a beautiful life ahead of you, and you deserve to live it to the fullest.

Love and support always,

Your older self]]> 2023-04-04 14:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jovlatty08/mdnso1jop995eb6j/wish/2543792720 https://padlet.com/jovlatty08/mdnso1jop995eb6j/wish/2546257328
Breathe and you are going to be okay. Even when it seems like chaotic, the Above will give you peace.  Spend time to your love ones especially who lift you up and focus to your goals, you will get the reward that you deserve. I’m sorry self for denying your opportunities because I chose fear over happiness. But now, I’m trying my best and to become better. 

Someday you are going to stop afraid of those who gave you trauma. You’re going to claim yourself with all the fierce tenderness you are hoping so desperately to receive from others. Don’t let people down you because of what happened in your life.

Chin up and let the voice be heard! 

Love,
The old me]]> 2023-04-06 13:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jovlatty08/mdnso1jop995eb6j/wish/2546257328
