The One Who Wasn't Defined By What Happened To Her

The One Who Wasn't Defined By What Happened To Her

 

Almost a year ago, I was drugged and raped in a foreign country. I began to feel defined by what happened to me and it made me feel unworthy of love.

Then, by accident, I came across the Self Love Pinky Ring. Fred and Far and the self love movement - helping women love themselves - spoke directly to me. Thanks to learning about self love, I realized that despite what had happened to me, despite how terrible I felt about myself every day, I was worthy of love. More specifically, I was worthy of love from ME just for being me.

Everything we go through doesn’t define who we are. I am so grateful to be able to wear, every day, a reminder that I am not what has happened to me. I know now that I can be whoever I want to be. And I love the person I am now. Thank you, Melody.
