“I Am Not a Victim, I Am a Survivor”
“I am not a victim, I am a survivor” and “my rapist doesn’t know he is a rapist”: a few common phrases you hear from women and men who have been raped. I am here to call bullshit, but first let me tell you about myself. My name isn’t important, but my story is, I am a sophomore in college and I was raped my junior year of high school. My boyfriend at the time and I had just gotten in a huge fight and I needed a distraction, so my friends took me to a party. While there I had a lot to drink and I met this boy. This boy had a smile that lit up the room and was throwing back drinks like a frat guy, he caught my eye the second he walked in. However, no matter the fight or the amount of alcohol I would never be unfaithful, so I continued on with my night and had fun with my friends. We played beer pong and danced on tables, eventually as everybody does while drinking I had to go to the bathroom. I couldn’t find any of my friends, so I ventured off alone, a big mistake on my part, spoiler alert. I walked up the stairs and quickly grabbed the handrail because I was very dizzy.

To My Son
My Dear Son, My sweet baby boy. Soon you will be a big brother, but I want you to know that you will always have a special place in my heart. You are my first born. You’re my rainbow baby and my miracle baby. You are the one who officially made me “Mommy.” I hope that our bond will never break, you are my only boy. You have such a sweet soul, whoever you decide to marry will be extremely lucky.

Ball Python Care
Ball pythons (Python regius) are native to the continent of Africa. These docile serpents have been found in several countries to the west of the continent, such as Ghana, Nigeria, and the Central African Republic. These animals spend much of their time hiding in burrows, as they enjoy keeping to themselves.

A Pet Owner's Journey (Pt. 16)
There is never a dull moment when you own a dog. They are a constant surprise. Their personalities change over time. Their actions will sometimes never make sense to you. They are endless entertainment. And they usually make great cuddle buddies. I'm a little biased towards dogs as pets, but I own one so I think that gives me a pass.

6 Things Women in Relationships Should Know About Money
I am a firm believer in being an independent woman. In a relationship or not, it is so important to be able to stand on your own two feet. I’ve gone through a series of horrible relationships, been single as fuck and married to my work, and I am now in a very comfortable and committed long term relationship (that I hope will be marked for forever).
