the whole confession: Sometimes I hear My Voice : So I Must Get Outta This.Tori’s experience and wisdom taught me how to hear the voice within. Two weeks ago my ex boyfriend who abused me, came to me for some reason, I thought he wanted to say “sorry” after three years - how naive was I? : He proceeded to emotionally twist my mind again, and brought me right back into that “victim place” that was, until I heard the voice of my 22 year old self say “Fight back, you’ve gotta get outta this !” … so I fought back, and I fought until he ran! (literally). Without Tori, I would never have understood that ALL of my former selves still live somewhere inside of me, and sometimes they are triggered and that my present self needs to acknowledge their existence, and help them through. Tori taught me how to FIGHT for myself and for what I hold sacred and to stand up to my attackers.

Sometimes I hear My Voice : So I Must Get Outta This.

Tori’s experience and wisdom taught me how to hear the voice within. Two weeks ago my ex boyfriend who abused me, came to me for some reason, I thought he wanted to say “sorry” after three years - how naive was I? : He proceeded to emotionally twist my mind again, and brought me right back into that “victim place” that was, until I heard the voice of my 22 year old self say “Fight back, you’ve gotta get outta this !” … so I fought back, and I fought until he ran!

Full Confession: My mother is a toxic entity in my life right now. So much so, that, at 19, I’m completely moving out and living on my own because we cannot live under the same roof and maintain a level of civility with each other.  We got in a huge fight tonight and, to win the battle, she used some hardcore emotional warfare and turned some personal things I’d shared with her in the past against me as weapons. I couldn’t take it so I ran to my car and took off. I’ve been sobbing in my car for the past hour because I’m trapped in this house and this environment until November.  To lift me up, I put choirgirl in my stereo and hit the shuffle button. “Pandora’s Aquarium” started playing and, for the first time, the song connected with me. It’s like Tori’s offering to help me dive deep inside my Inner Ocean to find and come to terms with feelings that, up until now, I wasn’t ready to face.  If only Tori knew how much her music helped me, almost on a daily basis.
