Sweet Jesus Taylor. So sorry bout that. God is indeed good and will give you the strength to heal from this.
The Grace you demonstrate by sharing your story will help others.
That’s awful that you had to go through that.
Well said, Taylor, and my thoughts are with you. Your photo is on my PC today…
“Dum Spiro Spero,”
Damn – beat me to it so I’ll offer the translation: “While I Breathe I Hope”
Godspeed young lady, you’ve endured and overcome more in 20 some years than many will in a lifetime.
Taylor, i cant even imagine how traumatic that must have been. What would you say to the people who cheapen the word. Like the UVA false rape story published by Rolling Stone, Or the 13 highschool girls who conspired on facebook to falsely accuse someone of rape because they watched “John Tucker Must Die”, or Fem-Nazis who claim they were “eye raped” because someone looked at them.
What can we do to make sure that people dont stop treating rape as a serious crime because of new wave feminism

New wave feminism? How about good old boy ignorance? So you pull out a few isolated incidents and talk about “eye raped” and Fem-Nazis in response to this deeply personal and moving article that Taylor penned? You should have posted nothing. Seriously.
Only an insensitive asshole would use a story like this to push their own political agenda.
Taylor, keep doing what you are doing. Talk about it. Ask for help. As a fellow survivor, I can only say that, in my case at least, it does get easier. It never, ever goes away, but it doesn’t knock you down as often or for as long. Sending prayers of peace.
God bless you, Taylor.
Thanks for sharing your story. Hope justice was served with your attacker.

But my heart is not weary, it’s light and it’s free
I’ve got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me
