    You're so brave to be so open about such a personal topic that affects millions of girls and boys. This video will help so many overcome their feelings of guilt and shame and move toward a healing place! You're stronger than you know Ellie ❤

      Thank you. It's taken me two long years to get here, but I'm glad that I'm at least at a place where I can share it with other people. I know what it's like to try and do it on your own and no one should have to do that. Looking back on it now, if I didn't have the people that I currently have in my life, I don't know where I'd be. But anyway. Thank you very very much

    This poem was wonderful, and I'm so sorry for everything you've had to go through. And you are completely right when you say that we are all worth more than the way the worst people treat us. Really good vid. Thanks for addressing such an important topic.

      Thank you very much. I was so nervous about posting this on the internet, because so many people are so cruel and hateful for no good reason, but I've gotten really good responses, and it makes me happy, because the whole reason I posted this was in hopes to bring a little more awareness to the topic and to help people who've gone through it, or at least let them know they aren't alone. Thank you so much

    God, I feel this so hard.... I was 17 when I was raped.... So I know the feeling, and I was with that person for a year and a half because I felt like I didn't deserve any better. It's so hard, and it's so hard for others to understand.... I'm so sorry you had to go through this, Ellie..

      I totally understand. I was in a relationship with her for two years in total, and now when I look back on it, it seems like a total waste. At the same time, I wouldn't change anything, because I'm stronger for it, now. I'm so sorry you did, too. But I am so so glad you're still here

      I feel the same way. I wouldn't be where I am now if not for the things that have happened to me. I'm glad we're both still here and are able to love/be loved the right way now.

      Yeah, I got indescribably lucky with my current beau. Honestly I hadn't pictured myself with someone who makes me feel as safe as he does, and that's so hugely important to me. But I am stronger for it, as are you, and I hope we continue to be able to be strong and help others when they need it most.

      I agree !! I never thought I could love/be loved as much as I am right now with my current man. He truly is a man, as he treats me right and respects me and makes me feel safe and everything in between. We are so lucky. Let us always be examples of things getting better, even if things aren't always perfect.

    ❤️❤️ Serious bravery! I'm not as bold to share incidents from my youth, but I'm always in awe and appreciate those that do. Also, I love the poetry format!
