Hey, there, it’s Eve.
This story took a lot for me to tell. I struggled with it for a long while. I worried that other people would be triggered by it. I worried that some people would be offended. I worried that the message of @thosewecarry would be lost.
I tried to tell a different story.
But it wouldn’t let go of me. I feel…I’ve been telling everyone to be brave, to be kind, to embrace their fears and vulnerability. That there’s strength in it. I can’t keep saying that with nothing to back it up. I felt that people deserve to know why I’m so adamant about it.
You deserve to know why and how I know.
So now I’m sharing it with you. I want to warn you, this is hard stuff. If you can’t or don’t want to listen, don’t. I won’t judge you for that. Only you know what you can bear.
Trigger warnings for child sexual abuse, self-harm, suicide.
