Honestly, most of us are already traumatized. If I see a man walking on the same street I'm on or sitting somewhere, I anticipate some sort of insult or humiliation. And if one day catcalling was no longer a thing, I wouldn't be able to forget it and just move on. So many of my sisters out there feel the same, and so many more have experienced things I can't begin to imagine. I'm not sure if we can reverse this, but our future generations deserve a better world. Our daughters and baby sisters shouldn't go through whatever this is.

I love this channel. I try to keep things as neutral as possible so that everyone feels included. That's why I avoid content about sexuality, politics, or anything that could regurgitate someone's trauma. But today I really really need to say something about…
Everything she said here I don't know how to emphasize it to a level of how much I want it to be emphasized. I am very sure that every girl older than 11 or 12 of age have experienced catcalling in a way. Words are powerful. What is said can bruise someone for life. I know cause I also carried self hate for how my body looked like because some stupid catcaller decided not to shut the fuck up while I pass the streets minding my own goddamn business. Always having to cover up wearing oversized clothes,always putting earphones on to not hear what they have to say.Almost everyday have I stopped myself from talking back and defending myself from any catcaller all because I am afraid of what the society will say about my response .when the person that was supposed to be ashamed was definitely not me. And yet after everything we have to go through noone decides to blame them it's always the girl. "Oh she got raped.what was she wearing she brought it upon herself." "They are catcalling her why doesnt she just recieve it with grace it's a blessing eko to look like that ?" "That girl could be my sister but it isn't my problem." when I say this words about my own story I know I am also saying it about every single girl in the world.She said it too what we said here wont have much effect but it is this little voices that will create a storm one day.

I feel - drained. It is a blank state of mind and soul I cannot describe to you as I think it would not make any difference. Also it is a very private feeling I have - that of melting into a perpetual nervous breakdown. I am often questioning myself what I further want to do, who I further wish to be; which parts of me, exactly, are still functioning properly. No answers, darling. At all.

There are stories only you have to tell, because there is no one who looks at the world in the way you do. There is no one else who listens to the whispers tucked in a soft breeze or understands the wilting petals whimpering. There is no one who feels the earth in the way you do. You are the one.

I have always told myself repeatedly that the reason that people left me is because I wasn't worth it."I amnot worth enough for someone to stay..I am just the non deserving one who seem to spoil everything fresh in life. I am destined to rot everything good in life..maybe I am just weak a branch unable to hold the fruit that sweetened my life and make it worth of being a branch..cause what is a branch without its ability to hold a fruit." I thought there was something wrong with me. Something abnormal of me to why they did the thing they did. Maybe the repetition of people being sick of who I am made me believe it after all.I have always had a hard time opening up for people because I fear that if I become too vulnerable they will leave too...if they see something in me that everyone saw when they left. To lower that guard down...To want to be loved...takes too much. I despised myself for wanting to be cared for and loved for once. This is a reminder that it's ok to feel this way. I have to go easy on myself. This is the first step.🖤🖤🖤
