Feeling Beautiful Again

[WasASoldier]

I was raped by someone I had considered a friend almost a year ago. It took me awhile before I could look at myself in the mirror again, but I did. I struggled for some time after with my feelings of self-worth, or rather the lack thereof. I still struggle sometimes and I might always. I recently went into business for myself as a Mary Kay cosmetics consultant because I believe in the beauty of everyone and being a consultant makes me believe in my own beauty. Because this November is my 1 year anniversary of the sexual assault, I have decided to give 50% of my profits made through Mary Kay to various rape support organizations. I invite you all to visit my website, and encourage others to also, and purchase products knowing that you are worth taking care of, but also your purchase will help others.
