Just because...
Just because... ... I haven't referred to the incident for three decades doesn't mean I forgot it. ... it happened when I was a child doesn't mean it does not affect me as an adult. ... there was no penetration doesn't mean the abuse didn't happen. ... they were doing drugs does not excuse what they did. ... it wasn't my fault doesn't mean I'll feel clean for the rest of my life. ... I chose to ignore them does not mean I've forgiven them. ... I was a victim doesn't mean I'll spend the rest of my life helpless. ... it happened to me doesn't mean I cannot forge meaningful relationships with others. There is such a thing as karma and I know they will eventually burn for eternity. I chose to rise above the situation and I deserve my happiness.
