The new year is off to a positive start.

After I lost a year and three months to a narcissistic abusive relationship and fled the state I was living in in October, I made it home and got a new job that paid better. I also got to see the Northern Lights for the first time when I got my job offer which I've never seen them where I live. It was incredible. I lost a total of nearly 15 years to abuse and grooming and then the last 7 to trafficking, rape, abuse by a total of 4 rapists and 6 abusers. I am in the reporting process which has been a lot of traumatic flashbacks but important to report and discuss as I don't want there to be any other victims. What happened to me happened to me, but I don't want it to happen to others and that's why I choose to speak up.

This year started off with a trip with my best friend to Asheville and then I saw Tennessee and the Smokey Mountains for the first time. It's been really peaceful and I'm grateful for my current partner who's my college sweetheart and to be given the space and support to heal from everything. I am grateful and it feels like this year will be positive in the sense of travel plans and hopefully getting justice for everything that happened to me and others.
