It makes me sad.

Lately I have noticed a strong corilation between rape/sexual assult and eating disorders. I do not wonder why this is. I know why this is; however, it makes me sad. it makes me sad that people hurt people like that. it makes me sad that sometimes people disregard human life so flippantly. And it makes me sad that we continue to let them hurt us through self imposed starvation.
I desire the strength to stand up and be who I am. Despite what has been DONE TO ME. Beyond my control...I cannot let myself be defined by such things anymore...I am more than a victim. I am more than you knew i could be. (if I let myself)
