Have you ever been violated? Do you understand what that means? Have you ever violated someone? Are you certain? Sometimes, you can be violated in your daily life. Generally speaking, when most people think about being violated the really overt forms to come their minds. Rape. Blatant molestation. Groping. Unwanted remarks.
I have been subjected to many forms of this violation since the age of 5 by the hands of many. Without question, one over hearing or looking in at the situation would know that a violation was taking place. But, there are other forms of being violated. Please, eliminate these actions from your life if you do them or remove people from your life if you are receiving them.
Have you been watched while showering? Even if by your significant other but uninvited? Does this make you uncomfortable? Have you expressed that just to have it done again? This is a violation. What about when you're getting dressed? Same thing here, if you requested that it not be done yet it continues, this is a violation. Does someone in your life grab you in private areas of your body, daily, no matter who's around? This is a violation.
Words, too can be a daily violation. If you are uncomfortable with the conversation or even just certain words, and you've requested it to be ended yet it continues, this is a violation. Does your skin ever crawl at someone's touch? Close your eyes to avoid seeing something or someone and hide in your head? Ever been in the presence of someone and just counted the moments until you could remove yourself? Has the presence of someone ever made you feel trapped, suffocated?
These are a few examples of how someone can violate you. If you are uncomfortable, you have the right to defend that feeling and have it ended immediately. No one has the right to continue to put you in situations in which you feel uncomfortable. Stand up for yourself. Stay in positive situations and end the negative ones.
My rainbow in this...to know I'm worth being comfortable in my situations.
All my love, Me
