My Story
Thank you for sharing this! This was an extremely difficult read and I am still having trouble reading the details of the aftermath. You've done an amazing job articulating your experiences, and I think it is something every high school student (and older) should read. This is definitely something everyone can draw inspiration from. And maybe/hopefully, for boys entering high school, they will know the damage they can do to another human being.Posted 01-21-2017 at 09:07 PM by Danii9207

My Story
little late, I was away and missed the story.
But thanks for posting.
Your writing ability is amazing. Even though i am a guy (well,. not sure I should say "even though, but still") I can feel the tension.
I never had such bad experience and I am super gratefull for that. But I know many who had and all of them have or had difficulties in coping with that.
You are one of the sunniest people on gd and it is really very nice to read a story from someone who found herself again.Posted 01-21-2017 at 03:19 AM by sir sam

My Story
Thank you all for your beautiful, supportive, and inspiring comments and messages that I've received over the past few days, I am beyond grateful! When I sat down to write this blog, my intent was to hopefully be that "angel in disguise" that you mentioned, and inspire or help someone that may have or is currently suffering a traumatic event. I am thankful that I have touched some of you!
I went through with the hard decision to tell my girlfriend and it actually went very well. I was a little worried that she may be upset that I had kept it a secret from her but she gave me the utmost comfort and she gave me a shoulder to cry on. I am thankful that I went through with my decision, as I feel that it has only brought us closer to one another and has strengthened our relationship.Posted 01-20-2017 at 08:09 PM by The Slutty Princess

My Story
Lia,
I remember that first story you shared about being raped last year, but you shared as little as possible about the full details. You have faced a very uphill battle. You have had to overcome so very much from what was done to you. Rape is not a easy acted to deal with as most rapes are done by good friends or a family member. Shock does take effect as the rape is being done, because of that trusting of the rapist. You have shared your courage and what that night did to you in knocking you down. How you almost took your life over what was not your fault. That boy, didn't care about your feelings nor the respect for you. I am so very glad that your sister saved your life. Because your life was worth so much more. Your story should be shared with Sammie, so that she can help you through those rough times that you must deal with. It is something that she truly need to know.
Thank you for hoping your story will help others who have faced the samething. You are a very special and beautiful woman.Posted 01-18-2017 at 08:13 PM by MasterDaddy02

My Story
You are an angel in disguise for an unnamed soul. Thats what I like to think. Thinking about how I could help someone else one day. I wish I had the courage to share my story like you shared yours. There are so many things that make me close up into my mind and hide from the rest of the world. In a different sense, I understand the not having control over your body because I thought I lost mine for months. Different situations and different stories, but hearing how you over came it is something I am still struggling with myself so thank you. I found GetDare as a way to express some of the things in my mind that no one would understand, but I never expected the people I would find that are in the same types of struggles and pains. You are a beautiful person that has courage and bravery to share her story and I can only wish to be where you are in peace some day. I wish you all the luck in having this conversation with your girlfriend.Posted 01-17-2017 at 08:17 PM by Wedgiebondagebabe

My Story
I could not read this without saying something in response. I cannot imagine the courage it takes to write publicly about something so very personal. You have my respect and my very best wishes for the future. Yours is a story with a positive ending and I hope it stays that way. For anyone in your position who reads this, I hope it gives them hope and comfort for the future.Posted 01-17-2017 at 06:21 PM by fieldman

My Story
I can't imagine what you went through at the time, and ever since, the turmoil and distrust that you had to push through. I hope you have inspired anyone who has been through any such crime, to learn from your strength. I would also hope that it will give insight to anyone who does not respect consent to think again, and become a human being.
I feel that this is something to share with Sammie. I hope sharing it here gives you that strength. No one deserves to have gone through that experience. A virtual hug,
Love,

My Story
Thank you for the bravery to share this private story with us. Such a horrible crime should happen to no one. But it is and is going to be and so it is even more important to speak out about it and keep an eye on it regarding what we can do the most: mainly educating about consent, making ourselves aware what it is and that we should harm our friends and other fellow human beings as well as that it's never our fault and that there is no reason for shame if it happened to us. And therefore, hopefully, no reason to keep it for ourselves. I suspect guilt and shame cause many trouble to heal from it. The most difficult part with these things is that reason and logic don't help with the feelings.
Decades ago my girlfriend then told me about the sexual abuse by her brother she had suffered, and how her parents hadn't fully supported her. I didn't know what to do, how to help her, how to support her to live a happy life despite that past.
I wish you all the power and support, best reactions from your friend and whoever you are going to tell. I appreciate the many strong sentences you are sharing from your path of healing. Great share.Posted 01-17-2017 at 05:13 PM by CSasha

My Story
Because of my story, I have learned the power of consent. Because of my story, I fell in love with one of the most amazing human beings. Because of my story, I have learned that my bravery and courage have no bounds. It has made me stronger. I am a warrior in both spirit and mind. And lastly, because of my story, I have learned to love those around me. I know a deeper and more profound empathy for all those who are suffering. I am the person I am today because of my story. I believe that I am better off healed than I was unbroken.
To any of you that have suffered from rape, assault, or any kind of trauma or PTSD;
I want you to know you are lovable, valuable, and powerful.
I want you to know that it wasn’t your fault, no matter what those voices tell you inside your head.
I want you to know that there are people out there that care for you and that love you..broken or complete.
I want you to know that your feelings matter. You shouldn’t keep them to yourself. Tell them to the people you love, the people who care about you. I am also a private message away if you need to talk.
I want you to know that you don’t need to rush to heal, but you also don’t have to stay broken.
And lastly, I want you to know your life is not over after tragedy.Posted 01-17-2017 at 01:04 PM by The Slutty Princess

Some Things I Learned in Belgium
I enjoyed hearing the account of your experiences in Belgium. You only had a few days to see so many sites and only scratch the surface! You tasted 40 different beers? LOL, 5 days, 40 beers Hmnn let me do the math! (then again, there were 4 of you, so I guess you might have shared?)
The hardest thing I couldn't get over when traveling there was in the food markets, and walking by the baskets of live eels!
I hope you and Sammie have the opportunity to travel together and see many of the world's wonders through each other's eyes! Thanks for sharing!Posted 01-16-2017 at 10:35 PM by thewilds

Welcome 2017!
Lia,
I can't wait to see how much you will grow in 2017. I can't wait to read more chapters in your life, as you heading in that direction of challenges. Yes, I hope nothing but the best for a very special person who keeps moving forward no matter what. Happiness with Sammie as well.Posted 01-01-2017 at 01:21 PM by MasterDaddy02

Winter Break Update
Super updates. In time, I am sure there will be more. I am thrilled to hear the number that replied, and we can only guess as to the reaction of the missing ones?
I admire your generosity!
The best in 2017. You deserve wonderful things!Posted 01-01-2017 at 12:43 AM by thewilds

I got little shivers reading that. I have dealt with depression myself, nothing traumatic, but just, not the happiest person at times. Your analogy of the box is really perfect for describing what it is like and where recovery can take you.
Thank you for sharing.

Twas the Night Before Christmas
Happy holidays to you too Lia! It is a wonderful time of year for families and friends to gather. We will be enjoying a very white Christmas following a very fresh and heavy snowfall yesterday.
Today will be a big family gathering for us too. Food, music, games, kids and snow!
It is a magical time to share your first Christmas with someone you love. I hope you and Sammie have the best first Christmas ever, cuddled up together in your cozy Christmas socks!
Merry Christmas,
Love, The WildsPosted 12-25-2016 at 05:58 AM by thewilds

I checked the books the other day while I was working and all the notes were still in place and there had been no replies. I have traveled home for the holiday break and it may be quite awhile before I check the books again but I'll make sure to update you lovely people, if needed!
Again, thank you for the overwhelming support! Yes, Cstelle, the website is www.handinhandforsyria.org.uk, thanks for posting it! If others would like to donate, that'd be awesome! As for now, thank you all for commenting!
Love,

It is great to see so many people viewing and taking on the dare too! Perhaps you should post it in the dare section too?
Enjoy being with your friends and family for Christmas!Posted 12-17-2016 at 04:30 PM by thewilds
