i found this poem and it really touched me
To anyone out there who has been sexually abused
Those of you who feel empty, dirty and used
I want you to know that there are ways to come out alive
You have one very important skill, you know how to survive
You've been shown a side to life that no one should be forced to see
Your identity has been hindered, and you don't know who to be
Fear clouds your vision and shame silences your voice's song
Until the day you accept the fact that you have done nothing wrong
The abusers did the deed, they committed the crime
You should shout that aloud, time after time
Until you know it in your heart, and feel it in your soul
Until the day you find a way to fill that empty hole
I know that it's hard and I know that you feel all alone
It's because you've never been here before, but it is this you should have been shown
A time to focus on you, like no one ever did
A time to feel important, to remember that little kid
You deserve to take back what is yours, give your abuser your guilt and shame
It's only appropriate, it's an even exchange
Allow yourself to feel what your abuser robbed you from
Whatever you always wanted to be, allow yourself to become
Take the power out of your abusers hands, rip his control from your mind
And ask God to press rewind
Then look at that little child, and tell her or him that they're free
Then come back to today and say, The rest of my life is for me.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
