I wanted to post about this because I feel like it's a worthwhile project. It's called Project Unbreakable. Here's a little bit about it from the Tumblr Blog: "Project Unbreakable was created in October of 2011 by Grace Brown. Grace
works with survivors of sexual assault, photographing them holding a
poster with a quote from their attacker. Grace has photographed over two
hundred people and has received over a thousand submissions. TIME
magazine has also named it one of the top 30 Tumblr blogs to follow."
Before I post the link, I just want to warn you, if you're a survivor and you aren't coping well, this may trigger you.
I salute the bravery of the victims who have allowed their faces to be shown with their posters. You are helping others see that they don't have to hide and be ashamed and that it is not their fault. I encourage people to share this. The only way this epidemic is going to end is if we drag the whole stinking mess into the light where people can't deny it anymore. It's long past time for people to stop these cycles of abuse and to stop victim shaming and victim blaming. The best way to make it happen is for us to not be afraid to speak up. We're all survivors together. We can help each other keep out feet.

This is just my place for posting things that are on my mind. It might be my experiences as a survivor from an abusive family situation. It might be related to my health issues. It might be my thoughts on current events. It might be about my art. It might just be my random thoughts on any given day. One never knows what might pop up in here. It's called "This Old Witch" because I'm Pagan (a witch) and getting older. Nothing cryptic or anything about that. :-p
