You know what, I've been thinking about the whole rape situation and maybe it's just something that needed to happen.

As naive and trusting as I was, maybe I needed a wake-up call that drastic.

I mean, I've learned a lot. I mean I trusted that girl and I got raped, but I could have trusted someone else and ended up dead.

Maybe it's not so bad that this happened. Maybe it need to happen in order to protect me from something more horrible in the future.

Every one of us has put ourselves in situations we regret later, or escaped from luckily, or got out safer than we could have. Glad you found the positive in this but still there's a lot of healing that needs to occur.

Grace - whilst I'm exicted you're trying to see the good side of ANYTHING, I don't think this is the sort of thing that NEEDED to happen. I get your philosophy, totally and appreciate it. But I DON'T think it needed to happen or THAT it happened was a good thing.

I think you're on to something deciding to MAKE a positive step and have the experience work FOR you..... NOW. Now that its all over and the healing can begin.

Now IS the time to move on and learn what you can from it for sure but please, don't adopt the idea that it was destiny or a good thing you needed to experience.
