Sexualizing a Rape Victim
I think one of the hardest things that I've learned as a female who has been a victim of rape is that most people think that we are some sort of kinky sex craved women who are willing to put out at any point. When we say no, the person believes we really mean yes. No, it's just a 2-letter word, what people don't understand is that I did not consent to being raped. I said no multiple times, I tried to fight the person who is raping me and get away from the situation, but by the end you lay there a dead body that somebody is having sex with. Being raped it has altered my thoughts on myself, my body and even the right to say no. It is our human right to say no to any unwanted physical contact from another human. We can choose whom we lay down, and get naked for, victims of sexual assault don't seem to have that right. We are placed in a judgement of “she must be easy, she’s a rape victim’ Once you have been raped or you admit that you have been raped you are placed in this box, you're damaged goods. Or at least people make you feel that way. You wear a sign that says I allowed somebody to take advantage of my body so can you. At least this is what it seems like I’ve had to encounter.

Survivors of Abuse
To even ask a domestic violence survivor to settle for a Peace Bond is like asking them to live in mental pain for the rest of her life. To ask a sexual assault survivor to settle for a Peace Bond is like telling them that what happened was okay, and also gives the abuser the chance to do it to somebody else without any repercussions A Peace Bond is basically stating the abuser is to stay away from the survivor with no record of the victims statement and or the court evidence ever coming back even if the abuser strikes another victim later in his life. To ask somebody who has worked on their mental health and trauma caused by their abuser while breaking the cycle of violence to settle for a Peace Bond it's like telling them that everything that they've done was for nothing, that their abusers actions don’t have any effect on there over all human rights and well-being. By offering a violence survivor, you are telling them you don't believe them to be strong enough to go against their abuser.

The Final Chapter of Anchor
On March 18th 2020, I meant Chunk for the first time. I picked him up in Barrie, Ontario after he hitch hiked from Vancouver BC. The reason he hitch hiked from Vancouver, BC was to be in a band with my now ex boyfriend Anchor. They started a band which also included Anchor’s ex-girlfriend called Gutter Puddle. Anchor arrived via plane on March 2nd 2020, I paid for his ticket as he told me a story of how she was abusing him. Looking back, one of the main things that I should have listened to when we decided to video chat on February 29th 2020 was when he said “ I am all about my band and I will not come to Ontario unless Chunk comes with me". I just wanted to help Anchor and I had history that went all the way back to 2014. I told Anchor that he could come with Chunk as long as there were no drugs and alcohol in my home. I also explained that on March 3rd 2020 I had court for the domestic charges that had been laid on an ex from 2018. He was aware of these charges as he was witness to the break and enter in 2018 but never ended up giving a statement. Anchor was there while I was being stalked and going through the process of having charges laid on my ex-boyfriend.

Let your smile change the world
Have you ever smiled so brightly about something exciting to have someone beside you dim that smile? I have, many times in my life. I would be excited about something, but had no one to share that with. I think the the one that sticks out most of me was an "Art Recovery" showcase in 2015 getting the opportunity to be interviewed on YouTube about my mental health art piece.
