CW Sexual Assault

So this should maybe be blamed on the alcohol and I might delete these tweets later but here goes nothing. A lot of people know I& #39;ve been incredibly sad since moving to Iowa but not a lot know why. The summer before I moved to IC I experienced what I now feel

ok calling a sexual assault. Its taken me over a year to feel like I deserve to call it that. Because the encounter started consensual and because I didn& #39;t say no, despite being burned, cut, and hit with a wine bottle I felt like I didn& #39;t deserve to call it an assault

Thanks to some friends at UI that are so wonderful that I absolutely don& #39;t deserve them I now feel ok calling this what it is.

I& #39;m not sharing this for clout or pity or sympathy or whatever people will passively agressively accuse me of doing by being open about this

I do it because it feels good to name what happened. I& #39;ve been so incredibly ashamed for a long time. And if I& #39;m being honest I still do but for some reason this feels right, at least right now.
