A year and three months ago I was raped. Today, I was able to wear what I haven’t been able to touch since that day. I’m so proud of myself for overcoming that horrible chapter in my life!!

Until I was sexually assaulted, I never would have realized how much you would associate the clothing with what happened.

It is never simple to process something like this, but it does get easier, and you will continue to get better. It's amazing how far you've come in just three months; you should be very proud of yourself!

Oh my heck you guys, you made me happy cry in line for security at the airport!! I tried to respond to every single comment, especially ones by other survivors, but alas my phone died. I wanted to thank you all so much and let you know I am thinking of you and so incredibly grateful there is such good in the world!! Please, all have an incredible evening/day for me, and if that’s too much, have an amazing hour for me.

Stay strong, and have a wonderful holiday season reddit! Love, Tori :,)
