Your body is your house

Your body is your house 

when someone breaks into your house it is not your fault

I don’t care if your house had alcohol in it

I don’t care if your doors were unlocked

I don’t care if you had a welcome mat outfront

I don’t care if you were having a party

I don’t care if you weren’t even home

I don’t care if you had beautiful short shutters on the outside

If someone enters your house without your permission it is not your fault

when someone breaks into your real house the police don’t say “your curtains provoked the intruder”

They don’t say “well you had a welcome mat outfront so I can see why the intruder decided to come in. I think you were asking for it.”

They don’t say that. Because a house break in is never your fault.

Nobody is allowed to enter your house without your permission.

I don’t care what color your house is

Or where your house is located

Or whose been in your house before

If you’re not letting them in, they don’t get to force their way in

  It is Your house. your house belongs to you. It is not your fault.

Don’t do that to yourself. Yes, You can take steps and set up different systems to do what you can to prevent another break in but ultimately you can only control so much. no matter what, if someone breaks into your house it is not your fault. Period.

**** I wish lawyers all over the world would use this analogy in rape cases so the jury and spectators can get a real glimpse and have some sort of earthly idea what an invasion of your body is like. to take them mentally to their safe place, their home, and describe an invasion of their house and then have someone try to make up some excuse as to why it’s their fault. They would be appalled.

The same goes for your body. the same goes for every human out there. an invasion isn’t your fault. Rape isn’t your fault. Sexual assault isn’t your fault. incest isn’t your fault. none of it is your fault!! Ever!!! So don’t let anyone tell you it is.

because it’s your house, Not Theirs!

Your house belongs to you!

YOUR body is YOUR house!

It feels like it’s been forever since I wrote this. It was almost 3 in the morning 2 years ago, and my heart was crying. my soul was broken. And my peace of mind was shattered.
This was the only way to explain how I felt.
Every now and then I still need this reminder.
And that’s ok.

“You will suffer.
But you will survive.
And that’s what makes all the difference.”
