#5: Don't let it become an OMG TRIGGER SHOW WORD where you have to be protected from it. Don't let it have that power over you. Don't make that show, that event, part of your identity. People will want you do - you're a survivor, whatever - but don't let them. Don't identify like that.

Ten years ago - oh, wow - I was raped while Rocky Horror was playing in the background. Three years later, when I was in college, I forced myself to join a cast. It was the best thing that ever happened to me, and now I have no bad associations with any of the surrounding events. For a while, I was actually bored of the movie.

Anon 'cuz I'm gonna get flamed, just like I did by the women's group at school when I suggested they stop identifying themselves in the way I said above.

I can't really imagine how it feels, since I've never been raped, but I just have to say that I really admire you. What you did takes some serious strenth.

No flames here, I think this is wonderful. It's a very healthy outlook on life.

In high school, I admit, I said something about how describing rape as "a fate worse than death" was bullshit... my point was that they were better than that, why should they beat themselves down with this antiquated idea that they'd be better off dead? A girl I was friends with went off on me. I still don't get it. :/

FINALLY. I never got the "fate worse than death" thing! Seems like more of an "at least you're still alive" thing.

Just popping in to say that while I've never been in your situation, dwelling on things seems like it's only lending more power to the person who wronged you in the first place, and your ability to move on and not let it become part of your identity is very admirable.
