I am empowered by my sexuality and my individuality.

I was called a slut throughout much of high school, and though it saddened me, I pretended not to care. My “best friends” also began to call me a slut, so I finally decided to free myself of the negativity. I no longer speak with those girls and I have a much better life without the people of my past. Now, at age twenty, I have broken out of my comfort zone, in part because I made the steps to have a more positive life. I am empowered by my sexuality and my individuality. We are all strong <3 - Erin McGuigan
