Based on a tragic part of my life that still scars me to this very day.
It’s a memoir to the two different occasions where my mother has been a victim of domestic violence.
Although she is perfectly fine, or so she thinks.
I never have been and it is a very big part of my life.
So I am willing to express and explain this past pain to all of my followers, because we help one, another.
So there you have it.

If you are in a domestic violence situation or know someone who is PLEASE tell someone or call a hotline.
Violence against women is an extremely serious thing.
Don’t ever think you deserve it.
Thank you.

What is Denim Day? In 1999 the Italian High Court overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans at the time of the assault. The justices stated that the victim must have helped her attacker remove her jeans, from which they inferred consent. Wearing jeans on this anniversary became an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual violence.
