To my rapist,

I want you to know that you don’t effect me anymore. You used to control my life, even though we haven’t spoken or seen each other in almost 6 years. I let you determine what I felt and how I dealt with relationships. But not anymore. I’ve met someone. We’ve been together for a year next month. He’s shown me what to love about myself and how to love it. He showed me that you have no place in my life and no place in my head. When you took advantage of me our freshman year of high school, I had to quit my favorite hobby because you had the same hobby. I’m done catering to your needs and your wants. I’m done changing my life because of what you inflicted on me. We’re finally over. I’m NEVER doing anything because of you ever again. I’m living and loving for me and my boyfriend now.
