The poster reads:

“Don’t ever cut your hair. It’s the only nice thing about you.”

I did cut my hair, right after because it felt defiled and I wanted to prove something to myself.
That was seven years ago.
I recently started dating a wonderful guy. My first relationship at the age of 24.
The other day he told me I wasn’t like the other girls he’s dated. When I asked him, “How so?”, the first thing out of his mouth was, “Well for one thing you have short hair.”
I’m taking it as a sign that my attacker was dead wrong.

The poster reads:

I don’t remember a word you said, but I remember your disgusting smirk, like you were proud of what you’d done.

I was 8 years old when you stole my smile from me.

I’m here to say that I’ve taken it back.

He knew I was gay.

The poster reads:

“At some point they’ll figure out that you don’t want them in that way.

That you’re a tease.

You’ll end up getting really badly hurt (possibly raped and I hope that never happens to you).”

-My abuser, after we had broken up, after they had raped me
