Wait, wait, wait.

Say more on that.

Well, I don't know.

I've always been told my innocence.

My naivete was stolen, but I believe I've still got my innocence.

I believe my innocence remains, even though I've seen the most cynical, darker side of human beings.

I'm not like that.

I don't have an instinct.

I don't even have an understanding of how you do that to another human being.

All the things that I see done that are ugly, not just child abuse, all the things, the bullying, all these different things.

I'm like, God, I couldn't conceive of waking up and deciding to do that.

My innocence is intact.

And the men that hurt me have not taken that from me.

And it was not personal.

I was there, unfortunately, against my will and witnessing someone else's monstrous darkness.

And so I don't consider that having been taken from me.

Nothing's been taken from me apart from my fucking time.

And so at some point I have to take agency over how much more of my time I will allow to go and be taken.

And no more, no more minutes belong to anyone other than me.

And I really believe that you can restabilize yourself by building a fucking bunker inside of yourself that creates an immovable thing in you because you're incredibly strong and incredibly resilient for what you've had to overcome.
