#sexualassault

Sometimes we take our situation, internalize it and torture ourselves with the worst possible outcome. This is catastrophizing. We do this in order to prepare ourselves for what may happen when we are not in control during our most vulnerable times. I am sharing two scenarios of people that have anonymously shared their stories with the hopes of healing the masses. Life is a beautiful thing when it is lived, not when you succumb to the fear of the "what if". Know that God loves you, has a plan for you, and wants to build you to get to your purpose. Trust me, I have catastrophized in the past to the point it has made me sick. I don't want you to experience that, so please join me in understanding and embracing the fight against catastrophizing.

Happy (?!) Sexual Assault Awareness Month...? Maybe? Every 68 seconds, a sexual assaulter is choosing to assault someone. We need to talk about this. What does sexual assault look like—it's rape, but so much more—and why is it one of the most underreported crimes (spoiler alert: we're shaming women into silence)?

With this many constant assaults, it was hard to pick just one assaulter to talk about, but we did it. Mainly because Chris D'Elia is out there Chris Browning it up, making money, touring as a comedian and enjoying his fame even after he's been accused by women and girls, as young as 16, of grooming and sexual assault, as well as just all around being a creepster. Free tip for all men out there: no woman wants the unexpected D just getting flopped out unexpectedly. No woman wants that. None. Write it down if you need to. Start a new note in your phone. Title it, "Don't Do These Things." Write down, "Take out your D with random women."

If you need to talk to someone about sexual assault, consider calling the National Sexual Assault Hotline 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or visit RAINN.org, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network to learn more about sexual abuse.

Also, check out The Chris D'Elia Problem on YouTube, a well-done short documentary on said sexual predator.
