@taylorswift this is the quote that has played in my mind for the past few months, over and over and I wanted to share my story but I felt like I’m better off than what most sexual assault victims have been through or that I’ve waited too long to speak up about it but I think it’s time that I finally get to tell you my story because even though it’s been seven months this event plays in my head over and over like a tape that’s being rewinded.
My name is Laura and I turned sixteen just last month, and I was sexually assaulted on the fifteenth of June 2018 after I left Taylor’s concert after having the (without a shadow of doubt) best night of my entire life, that night we were in a bad situation to get home we had to walk to the city center from The stadium and get on the local Train sort of thing, it took about an hour to get there and while we were walking me, my mom, my best friend and my boyfriend got hungry and popped into a small shop to get some food and drinks, while I was in the shop paying for my food a man walked by me and groped me from behind, it all happened so quickly and I was in shock I had no idea what had just happened, I noticed the man was out the front of the shop with other men who were all drunk, I didn’t feel safe and I wanted to get away from them, I didn’t tell my mom but when we got far away from them I told my friends, I was too excited and buzzed up on adrenaline after the night so I didn’t think too much of it and it didn’t ruin my whole night but the days that came after we’re different, I kept thinking about it and crying and I felt like an object, like some toy that any man in the street can grope, I was ashamed and heart broken all at once. What I was feeling was not okay and the fact that I have up until today kept it to myself is not okay and I realize that but I know that the more people that read this, the more people might grow strong enough to open up about their experience to get support, I want to be an example to someone just like Taylor was my example. She proved to me that no matter how long you wait sexual harassment is still sexual harassment and it will not be tolerated. Please if you see this could you reblog it I want taylor to know that she is beautiful and strong and I want her to see that this is the influence she has caused and that she is a role model to be looked up to for years to come, Taylor one day if you see this I want you to know that I thank you, for everything you’ve ever helped me with, thank you and I love you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
*PLEASE REBLOG AND LIKE AND COMMENT ALL THE SUPPORT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME*
