I had an epiphany in church today.

It’s about damn time I forgive myselffor the abuse I experienced from my previous boyfriend. When the tables are turned, and you become the victim, it becomes so much easier to blame yourself. I know that it is neverthe victim’s fault when it comes to assault (that’s fundamental feminism right there), but I finally realized today that I had been hating myself ever since he laid hands on me. I am so much fucking better than that. I’m glad that I can now take this step in healing.
