Dear World,

I hope this finds you well.

When I was 8 my best friend molested me all the time. A babysitter molested me. Friends who were boys touched me and taught me things but really it was just groping me. Grown men would say gross things to me all the time. Boys felt me up all through high school. I was a virgin until I was 17 and then I was raped. A boyfriend in high school made me watch porn with him and act out the scenes. In university I slept with anyone who would sleep with me (which was a sadly low number of people) unprotected and I knew they didn’t like me, but I didn’t like me either, so what did it matter. I don’t know how to heal from this because I can’t tell it to anyone. I am going to come read all the letters in case anyone has advice for me.

Thank you,
