I'm still wrestling with the incidents I've had with past lovers...that I now consider nonconsensual. It's still hard for me to even say that because the belief that I owed that to a lover is so deeply entrenched in me. I keep saying, "No, they didn't do anything wrong. I was their GIRLFRIEND." Phew.

This is very powerful and it struck me deeply. Thanks for sharing my story, too. <3 xoxo
