Jane showing up to stand with Mia made me tear up.

Seeing Jaqueline get there.. stepping into the circle and taking the weights left me balwing.

this really got to me. seeing and experiencing that you are not alone – not only as a sexual assault and/or rape survivour, but also as in people, who didn’t go through the same, showing up, offering their support, believing you – creates momentum .. an opportunity to speak up, to stand up for yourself and to move forward. together.

i’m still a little overwhelmed.

i usually never cry about this anymore but seeing this episode made me want to reach out to my friends and feel this sense of community with them.
i’ve been carrying this with me for so long and it’s true, i think: you have to create a new normal. and after years and years of witnessing my new normal fall into place around me, i finally feel like i want to be part of the process??
focus on the *creating* and not just letting everything happen and be apathetic for the rest of my life.

i feel like this must sound ridiculous (having a therapy-like breakthrough over here while watching a tv show..) but seeing this actually helped me somehow and made me feel less alone.
