RaeAnna + A Nerdy Lifestyle
In August 2023, before going on a trip to Australia, I archived all my Instagram posts and started fresh. Now, living in Australia, I brought all the posts back because, I miss scrolling through the highlight reel of a life I worked really hard for and loved completely.

Love cannot conquer all, but our love has conquered so very much.
Scrolling through Facebook's On This Day page, I was reminded that seven years ago tonight. I was raped for the last time.
I am not trauma bonding. I will give the rundown of my past to new people in my life because I want them to find out the violence I've endured from me and not a tweet or Instagram post. It feels like the polite thing to do.
