It takes an exceptional being to be able to move BEYOND such a traumatic experience and to not let it define them, but to build them as a person. Survivors are some of the most incredible people anyone will know. Let us be recognized for our ability to remove the lable of "victim" from ourselves, and instead be refered to as Survivors. For anyone who has become victimized in any sort of way regarding violation to your body- I applaud you for not defining yourself as a victim...fore you are a much greater person... You are a survivor, a living testimony for others. :) I hope that everyone can see those survivors of sexual assult/rape or any other type of violation to one’s body (sexual abuse/molestation, ect.) is able to see just how strong of an individual that person is.
