These are the things that don’t fit into the other categories. There’s probably a pretty strong feminist agenda in here. I’m just living my life!

The Vice Grip In My Chest

April 14, 2022April 14, 2022 RaeAnna

I'm crumbling. All I know is that it feels like my lungs and heart are slowly being compressed in a vice grip I can’t shake. I can’t stop crying. But I can’t seem to start breathing.

11… Phrases People Have Responded With to My Writing

January 17, 2022January 17, 2022 RaeAnna

I'm a writer specializing in social justice and a memoirist trying to change the world through awareness. Being open about the realities of life after rape and the mental struggles that go along with that puts me in an interesting position. People have quite the reactions and say some exceptionally dumb things.
