Metamorphosis: Victim to Victor - Living as a Survivor of Sexual Abuse: Relapsing is okay - just keep working at it.
http://amouthfullofnothing.blogspot.com/2012/06/relapsing-is-okay-just-keep-working-at.html
Tuesday, 26 June 2012. Relapsing is okay - just keep working at it. I found myself so irritated the other day to realize that I was back in a dark place that I had worked long and hard, many years ago, to recover from. To get better and get stronger and function like a normal human being. Then as I entered my early teen years, it happened again with a vague aquantance that I had just met. Again a couple of years later when I went to study in Cape Town, a stranger raped me. Now I know at first blush the w...

Metamorphosis: Victim to Victor - Living as a Survivor of Sexual Abuse: A safe place
http://amouthfullofnothing.blogspot.com/2012/07/safe-place.html
Wednesday, 4 July 2012. And so as I continue on my, once again, new journey of sexual healing since my relapse. I find myself thinking about the tools I enlisted in the past to help me deal with the panic and fear. How did I get control in the past? Because I figure that's what I need to be doing this time round too. I can't go back to thinking about Shianne now as my safe place, because now she belongs to someone else and is just a reminder that she is no longer mine. I could think about the next ca...

Metamorphosis: Victim to Victor - Living as a Survivor of Sexual Abuse: Damage and Justice
http://amouthfullofnothing.blogspot.com/2012/07/damage-and-justice.html
Tuesday, 3 July 2012. This morning I read an article. Newspaper about a rape appeal that backfired on a rapist. The accused ended up getting more jail time for his crime than his original conviction. I thought. "That's the way it should be done.". In fact, if that's what happened this time around and if that's what could happen every time, then please, rapists, appeal to have your cases overturned and get more jail time. Because you know what? Which brings me to another point. It is partly because of thi...

http://therandomphoenix.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-peril-that-is-weekend-at-coast.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2015. The peril that is a weekend at the coast. So I trust my American pals had a good Memorial Weekend? We had a long weekend as well, yesterday was Africa day here in the Southern African region and so me and a few friends decided to head to the coats for some r&r. It was lovely, as well as a peril to my hair and health journeys. The BIG peril was of course to my diet and routine. Holy Moses! Small coastal towns are awesome for walking, so leave the car and actually walk around. I ...

The Random Phoenix: Update...and explaining the silence
http://therandomphoenix.blogspot.com/2016/04/updateand-explaining-silence.html
Friday, April 29, 2016. Update.and explaining the silence. Then in December I decided enough is enough. I had a frank discussion with myself. You see, at the time I was practically 8 months post and have been toying with the idea of going natural myself. but my new growth was driving me insane! I'm talking bat shit crazy! So, I became honest with myself - I am not ready in any way or form to go natural. I'm not even ready to deal with a lot of new growth between relaxers! My staple deep conditioners are ...
