GORGEOUS | My Sexual Assault Story, How I Became an Escort, and Why I'm Finally Speaking Up (TW)

Trigger warning: sexual assault

I don't share this album much. Not because I'm ashamed of the music. Because I don't want to drop something this heavy into someone's scroll without warning. A lot of people come here to unwind. I get that. So I want to say this plainly.

I wrote a song called GORGEOUS about my first time. I was roofied. I had never drank before. I had never had sex. The person was someone I trusted — a father figure, an authority at my job. He got me drunk, drugged me, and assaulted me in a room I couldn't walk out of. I was a virgin. I bled. I missed curfew and got in trouble. That night changed everything.

After that, I was so afraid of saying no that I said yes to everyone. I ended up as an escort. I was assaulted multiple times by multiple people. I stayed silent for years. I thought silence was protecting others from my pain. But really, it just fed the loop.

I made the album GORGEOUS to unpack all of it. It's streaming everywhere. I don't promote it often because I don't want to trigger anyone. But I realized something lately — staying silent doesn't protect anyone. It just leaves us alone in the dark.

So I'm sharing this for the people who also sat in silence. For the ones who said yes when they meant no. For the ones who still flinch in safe beds. You're not alone. I know how lonely it can feel. I still get triggered with my husband. He's patient. I'm learning.

The song says the rest. If you need to skip this video, skip it. Take care of yourself. I just wanted to sit here in case anybody needed the company.

May you find the company you needed back then — in yourself, right now.
The song GORGEOUS and the album are streaming everywhere.
Crows on the wire, keeping watch over you. You're not alone. 🐦‍⬛
