Yes, I think even in the most private of times if that happened and nobody publicly knew about it, there's still shame within your family. You feel embarrassed. Like, you know, what did I do? You always make it about yourself. And that's okay because hopefully you will get stronger and reflect and not make those same mistakes again. And for me... They happened repeatedly.

And I was like, okay, this is about me. I'm either not paying attention. I'm sweeping something under the rug. I really wanted to be so aware of what I was doing and let that go. But let the guilt and the shame of that go because I, quote, allowed it to happen more than once. And I'm saying that because I didn't allow it to happen. But The narrative out there was like, well, you get what you get.

I should have known better. And yes, I probably should have. But I needed to learn that lesson. I know I carried so much shame and guilt where there would be times that I was like, I don't even want to go out to the grocery store and look at someone in the eyes because I feel like I know what they're thinking about me. They probably don't know who I am. They probably have never heard this story.

But the shame, this cloud that was... I felt following me everywhere that I don't know if it was even that big to other people, but I definitely felt like I was constantly surrounded by a gray cloud. I would limit myself from doing a lot of things and seeing a lot of people because I felt such shame where I was like intentionally, no, I'm going to let this go.

Well, the interesting part is I think the very first time it happened, I didn't do that. And that's okay because it's done. And I also had to forgive myself for that. There was a time that I felt very guilty. Like, why did I even stay? Why am I not forgiving myself? I would blame myself forever.

No, and that's what I mean. I think people also need to be patient with themselves. Like if they don't, if you're not feeling accountable in some of the actions that you're making or something, what someone else is doing to you, that's okay. There will be a day that you will wake up.

And listen, if I was watching me when I was in my 20s, I would be judging that person too and being like, she's so stupid. It's going to happen again. I don't blame people for their judgment. I think with life comes great wisdom and life experiences. And if my story helped anybody else feel less alone, because it's such an isolating feeling.

You feel like you're on this island and it doesn't happen to anybody else. And sadly, it does. And I know so many people that stay longer than I did. And not that it's right, but you have to let go when you really feel like you're ready. Or I think that person will always feel like, well, what if and this and... I really just like to live my life in this. No, I'm solid in that action.
