Almost 2 years ago, I was sexually assaulted by my ex-boyfriend. There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t think about it. It changed me as a person. For anyone who has been assaulted, YOU MATTER. Your feelings matter. Your pain matters. I see you, and I believe you. ❤️

It’s been 8 years since my cat, Jackie “Jack”, passed away. She was only 11 months and had leukaemia. It was such a sad day to say goodbye to a kitty so young. I pray she’s resting in peace and causing lots of mischief in cat heaven!
