Strong reminder that “no” means “NO”. It’s disturbing to think that because we fear hurting or offending those we care so much about, we end up hurting ourselves. We should all know our limits, and just as importantly, let others be aware of it as well. If I let you in my house, it does not mean you can raid my fridge or sleep on my bed. The line between intimacy and abuse is so thin, that in most cases a lot of us have a hard time telling one from the other until we are left with a sense of guilt or pain afterwards. You showed true courage on this post, Kyeli. I hope you realize how much stronger you are as a person now.

Wow. Have you come across the phrase “standing on the shoulders of giants”?

Also, did you know you were a giant?

You will probably never know all the people that “stand on the shoulders” of this post, but they are there, and they wouldn’t have done it without you.

Oh my gosh, Kyeli this was beautiful.

Thank you so much. Your sharing this was liberating for me. I might be able to heal some parts of my past I’ve never dealt with before.

Thank you.

I’ll add my thanks to the chorus.

Mine isn’t the same as your story (they never are) and yet this happened to me and I rewrote my memories because I loved him and I would rather it was all my fault then face the truth that this person that I loved and trusted more than anyone violated me.

“I stayed because I was waiting for someone to save me. And it was only when I realized that someone was me that I got out.”

Hell yes! You’re an incredibly strong person and don’t let anyone tell you differently ever again.

A million thank yous for sharing this, seriously.

I’m so sorry that this happened to you. You are brave and wonderful, and so strong. Thank you for writing this and sharing it. These things are so hard to write about, and you did it very well.

“I stayed because I was waiting for someone to save me.

And it was only when I realized that someone was me that I got out.”

This especially was touching to me, because lately I’ve been thinking the same thing myself.

Again Kyeli, you are awesome.
