This may not feel well with some, but at a young age, around five or six, my womanhood was taken from me by family members, and I threw it in my trauma train for over 30 years, just releasing it in 2023 to my best friend. After going through therapy, I was told that I need to speak my truth. When I did, I felt a complete burden lifted from me. I was just five, not knowing right from wrong, but completely taken advantage of
And yeah, I know it's not a light topic, and I just want to offer condolences and also offer support and applause for your strength and to come out here and speak and make it public, that's a really big deal. And my hope is that beyond just my response of offering condolences, which I don't know what it really means to you, probably nothing, and that's completely understandable

You much gratitude. I really didn't think anyone would even listen to my story. I've been told for years that I need to tell my story, so this is just the beginning of it. And your condolences definitely lifted my spirit, and I appreciate that. To the utmost. And thank you
Hey, I wanted to respond back. Thanks for responding so quickly. Of course someone's going to listen to it. I feel like you've put it out there for it to be heard and that is going to attract that outcome. I just want to personally thank you for responding so quickly because it's always a little uncomfortable. Personally responding because I don't ever want to come off as insensitive or rude or anything

You. Thank you so much. I hope that you have an amazing day as well. And, yes, I did put it out there for it to be heard. This is like my venning app, as you could say. So thank you. And I followed you as well

So I've delayed that part of my journey and I'm grateful for you to have the strength to be here on your journey. There's a lot in there. There's a lot. There is a lot. And forgiveness to ourselves, loving ourselves and having grace with ourselves, looking to the future with confidence, therapy. You did some of that and that's very helpful. And as it turns out, this platform is uniquely helpful for some of the things that really matter. So thanks again

I am a single mother of four, so they have a little thing going on and I'd be happy. But we do have to give ourselves growth. We are human and it's a journey. And I'm putting my story out there so that I can get what I needed or I can be sorry so that I can be what I needed growing up. Because like I said, I just pushed that back in my trauma train
