What almost getting raped taught me - true story

In college we face a lot. sadly, I experienced something that changed me forever.

I'm not going to get into details of the attack since it is still going on but I am going to talk about what it taught me.

1.) It taught me how thankful I am for being strong. (mentally) I struggled so much even having ptsd but now I feel strong because I still live my life, yes more carefully, but I'm still on this earth.

2.) It taught me to not trust everyone I meet. The nicest people might be the darkest monsters.

3.) Never to victim blame anyone! I now know how serious these situations are and would never blame a victim or look at them less than what they are.

4.) To be thankful. I am still here, my family supports me, I have support. I am therefore thankful.
