Hello folks!
It had been a million years since I last posted and, I feel very bad about it. But the thing is, I have a lot in my plate. Not that I am making an excuse.
Exactly six days ago, I experienced being harassed. It came up like this: He tried pulling me toward him while telling me this twice:" I bet no one have ever kissed you before" and, I withdrew from him and told him, "No, you cannot do that to him." A lot of help had been extended and, I am grateful for it.
Looking back from my point of view, I think that I did the right thing for reporting and stopping that behavior right there and then. Growing up, I have always met people who would pass a judgemental streak on victims of sexual abuse or harassment. They can be blatant things like, it was your fault because you were wearing this and that dress or, you got too friendly or, whatever you did or say that had "attracted" them to you and, as a consequence, you got that treatment.
Yes, I was very upset about this but, this did not stop me from moving on with my life. I sometimes get into thinking that I must have done or said something that triggered the attack but, I cannot find anything. What had made me feel so safe and secure to move on with my life is that thought that I was assured of the support of everyone and, that had made me so happy.
I don't know what my life would be after this but, I certainly am enjoying doing what I am doing right now. I am always tired, I sometimes do not eat and sleep on time, I am not even paid doing this but, I have high hopes for the future and this thing that happened to me would just be one of those "blips!"
I am mentioning this for no other reason than this: the world can be a scary place. Sometimes, unexpected things happen. Speak up. Help might just be around the corner.
