Painted this after having a flashback one night. I’ve had PTSD for three years now, but I’ll be damned if I can’t make something beautiful come out of it.

Submitted by rosewater-sailor. This is absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for sharing. PTSD is such a hard thing to deal with on a daily basis, and I’m so sorry you are experiencing it (and had to undergo sexual assault). I’m so happy to see you are making this into something beautiful. Thank you, keep on keepin’ on <3

This is very important to remember. Achieving a yes after dozens of Nos is not the same as consent.
