riverwalker:

As a girl, the idea of rape is terrifying. It’s terrifying because it’s real. Maybe I will be the one in six who is raped. Maybe I will be the one in three who is sexually assaulted. It’s terrifying because I am strong, but so many people are stronger, and how can I possibly know if their self…
