Secrets, Part 5

I haven't done one of these in years, but it just struck me today to put a post up. If you have something weighing on you that you'd like to get out, post it here!

Share a secret in the comments. Anonymous commenting is on and IP logging is off, so share whatever you like.

Maybe I'm just feeling a little secretive today?

Hugs. Big ones.

I'm so sorry this happened to you.

As someone who has been there, though mine was not a stranger rape but someone in my family. I understand.

For a long time I hated that my firsts were taken from me. And what I decided is those might have been firsts, but they weren't the first of me kissing someone. They weren't the first of me choosing to lay down with a partner. And since then, the firsts that I think of when I think of them, are those. The ones in which I chose to give myself to my partner and not the ones in which it was taken from me.

You are not broken. You are not damaged goods. You are someone who had something bad happen to them who is still deserving of the kind prince you dreamed about.

If telling someone makes them treat you badly or any way other than holding you if you have a trigger and being gentle when you give the yellow or green lights then kick them to the curb, your prince is out there.
