I am a rape survivor, and it fucking sucks. But I survived it, by definition, and I am damn glad to be alive. Having been raped is something I live with, but it doesn't define me, it's not the sum total of who I am by a long shot, and to suggest that it is is pretty insulting. What I am is someone who loves nature, writing, music, my friends and family, traveling, my cat, even my job sometimes, etc.

And I couldn't enjoy any of those things if I had been murdered, because my life would have been over. Hell, I couldn't even recover from my rape, I couldn't learn to live with it, I couldn't have talks late into the night with other survivors as we tried to help each other heal.

My rapist took a lot of terrible things from me, but he didn't take everything. Murderers take everything and destroy their victims utterly beyond all hope of recovery.

Thank you for sharing that. My younger sister was raped and the effects on her and our family were terrible and are still apparent to a certain extent nearly ten years on but she is making an amazing life for herself. At the risk of making it about me I still have moments when I am devastated afresh by what happened but I'm very sure that if she'd been murdered I'd either be dead as well or institutionlised somewhere.
