Re: Love Notes

You are beautiful and should never be treated anything less than beautiful. I hope that you can focus your attention on today and become free of the horrible memories you hold within you.You are a group that has gone through such an experiance that most could never imagine. But move forward and dont look back youll only bind yourselves to the past. You can make your life any way you will it to be, so be that, be what you love the most, choose love, act on it, breath it, share it. The people who have confined you for so long do not understand such a wonderful thing. I will be doing my best to get the word out and to inspire change, I have been inspired to change myself.
PEACE BE WITH YOU

You are special!

I cannot say that I know how you feel because no one really forced me to become the person I was. I just did not see any worth in myself, and I surrounded myself with people who only confirmed that for me. I was a dancer on Fulton Industrial who evolved into a prostitute then a drug addict. I was homeless, so I found a pimp who at first told me I was beautiful and that he would take care of me. I snuck out after he put a gun to my head and told the only reason he didn't pull the trigger was because I wasn't worth the wasted bullet or the time it would take to clean my brains up off the floor. He found me many times, and I cannot even tell you how God rescued me because the part of my life where I actually got clean is all a blur. I just know that somehow God has given me a beautiful man who loves me in spite of everything. God has used him to show me how much God loves me-enough the he created me in HIS image and sent his son to die an agonizing death so that I could live a life with and for HIM. Only to leave my earthly body and spend eternity with HIM.

You are so precious and so special. I am praying for all of you that you will discover that for yourselves.

Sincerely,
Heather Height

Keep your head up!

I can't say I completely understand what happened....but I can say I completely care. I had no idea anything of this nature could ever happen in the states. I believe that making people aware is the best thing. If I had never heard of this...I'd have had no idea how much it would impact my emotions. Just know that not all people are bad. I had an issue with realizing that after I went through some sexual abuse as a child. I thought all adults were out to get me. It took years to know that not everyone will hurt you. But, there are great people willing to help. I hope for you that you find these people and continue your life. Some of us truly care.

We'll Keep our Chins up Too

Jana,

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. You're absolutely right -- not everyone is bad. In fact, most people are not bad such as yourself.

People truly do care, and we are beginning to notice that more and more everyday. It is not only encouraging, but enlightening.

Thank you dearly for taking the time to read and comment as well. We will be keeping our heads up, and our chins high as well.

All the best,

-William Mac
