I have thought long and hard about my Dash. For me I want my dash to have a meaning. So basically I want my life to have a meaning and a purpose. I want to feel like I made an impact on the world around me. I hope that some felt like their life mattered because of the impact I had.
I think also that it is important to know that I changed someone’s life. That I made them feel important. To me, that means more than anything. To be able to impact someone’s life and let them know that they are important and they matter.
I think something else I want my dash to do is to leave my work and impact behind in the world. I feel like I am really striving to do that with this blog, sharing my life story and my volunteer work. I strive to make contact with as many survivors and families as I can. And to be able to let them know that the trauma they have endured does not define who they are. ALSO that they are not alone. ANd that the trauma is no way their fault.
I really want to strive to change the mindset of society about the stigma of sexual trauma. That is my life goal until MY DASH connects those 2 dates.
Take Care Much LOVE
