"i killed who she could've been"

oprah had a show on child molesters. she interviewed a man who molested his younger relative from early childhood until he was 20 years old. she asked him what he did when he raped her.

he replied,

"i killed who she could have been."

i often think of all the things in this world that can destroy children. and i pray fervently for the ones in my life. it's amazing the pain the human body can endure... but it shouldn't have to.

i sometimes harbor the pain of others. not in a, i know what you're going through way, just a... I'm so sorry way. I think every being on this earth deserves love and peace and it hurts deeply to know there are innocent people who endure what they do.

if you're reading this, and you're in pain- i just wanted to say, i'm so sorry.

it is not your fault.

it is not your fault.

it is not your fault.
