4 years ago, on october 14th, 2022. i was only 15 years old. a sophomore in high school. i never imagined that something like this would happen to me, and I never imagined that one day I would find the courage to share my story.

For a long time, this was something I carried with me. Something that happened to me, something that hurt me, and something that no young girl should ever have to experience. I said no. I tried to push him away. I did everything I could to make it stop, but my voice was ignored.

I am sharing my story not because it is easy, but because it matters. Because sexual assault deserves to be talked about. Because survivors deserve to be heard. And because I want anyone who has experienced something similar to know that they are not alone.

You can agree to meet someone and still say no. You can trust someone and still expect them to respect your boundaries. You can be in someone’s car, watching a movie, or simply spending time together, and none of that gives anyone permission to touch you without your consent.

No means no. Consent matters. And what happened to me was never my fault.

To the girl I was at 15, I am sorry you went through something so painful. You deserved to feel safe. You deserved to be listened to. You deserved so much better.

And to every survivor reading this: I believe you. I see you. Your story matters, your voice matters, and you are not defined by what someone else chose to do to you. ❤️

I may not be able to change my past, but I can use my voice to help someone else feel less alone in theirs.

Please be kind. You never know what someone is carrying silently. by @shaeleither

i’m officially 3 years clean of self harm.

never thought i would be saying that to be honest.
if i could tell that girl what i know now. the girl sitting on her bedroom floor crying and wondering when it’s going to get better. the girl hurting in a way that is unexplainable. if only i could sit and hold her. tell her all about my life now. oh how my heart still aches for her. she was broken, hopeless, so far gone that nothing could have helped her.

but that wasn’t the end of her story. let me tell you about my God. my God.

the one who sat and loved me when i couldn’t love myself.
the one who so patiently waited for my stubborn self to come back home.
the one who already won the battle before it even happened.
the one who saw me at my very worst and loved me still.

i wish i could look at that 16 year old girl, grab her face and say trust Him. i wish i could tell her that her future is SEEN and GOOD and the enemy looses every time. i wish i could show her how beautiful she is. i wish i could tell her that God is waiting for her.

i know that i am only here because of His hand. i will NEVER be afraid to share my testimony. i will make the enemy pay every single day i’m alive for thinking he could mess with my life.

i’m so grateful for my patient God. i’m thankful for a God who saves, a God who gave up his only son for ME! (even for the girl that wanted nothing to do with Him).

the same God that saved me from rock bottom wants to know YOU!

you are seen by Him. rest in the fact that you have been thoroughly examined. and get this: the examiner has stayed!
He is gazing into your heart even at this moment! do you realize that you, at your core, are fully, completely known?

i am leaving freshman year as a different person than i was going into it. this year has been filled with so much love, laughter, growth, and friendship. i am BEYOND blessed to have met the most amazing people this year and i can’t express how much i love them. i’ve made so many memories these past 9 months that i will forever cherish. thank you Lord for answering many many prayers & giving me a place i now get to call home!! i can’t believe freshman year is already over! it is a blessing not wanting to leave a place you’ve known for less than a year, but it really is the people that make that place! can’t wait to be back on campus next semester with these people! 🥹💗🫶🏻 taken in South Dakota State University by @shaeleither
