Steemit, hi one and all....................... especially #craig-grant #paco #crypt0 #trevonjb #yuliana
I published this post last week but didn't get the acknowledgement I would've expected, so I am posting it again; not even certain I can but I CLEARLY HAVE!!!!!!
Hello Steemit, how are you today? I hope this finds you well? Let's begin I guess :)
My name is Mia Rose, I'm a multi talented, passionate determined woman. I like to consider myself intelligent, caring, motivated and a little "happy-go-lucky". I enjoy the finer things in life and like most girls, enjoy being made to feel special!! 😘😘😘
I've just reached the beautiful age of 30, I know, it's hard to believe isn't it; judging from my picture?! 😂😂😂
So here we are, the obligatory strong, independent woman; successful and confident, well!! Where do I start? I suppose from the beginning?
Usual fairytale story, girl meets boy, falls in love, buys a car, buys a house, discuss and plan for their futures together; everything is perfect, I'm on top of the world. A princess adored by the man of my dreams, the most special girl in the world!!!
What a load of RUBBISH!!! 😁😁😡😡😡😡🤐🤐💩💩💩
I can guess what is going through everyone's mind now, it's the usual heartbroken women voicing her anger on a social media platform yada yada yada!! WAIT, that's not the case, I am here to present myself and make a declaration to satisfy my goals; I'm also trying to get back certain elements that I feel have been surpressed and restricted!!
There is no easy way to tell you so please forgive me...................... I HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO THE MOST DISGUSTING AND DEGRADING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!!!! REVENGE PORN!!!!!
It may seem like nothing but a joke to all you men out there, but I can assure you from a woman's perspective it isn't!! Now before we go any further I need to take a breather and compose my thoughts. I'm embarrassed, but not embarrassed; maybe frustrated, livid, disappointed.
Revenge porn is defined as...... The sexually explicit portrayal of one or more people distributed without their consent via any medium. I didn't even know it was a crime until a friend of mine told me, did you?
I've never experienced such a feeling I'm my life, an emptiness in my stomach that is quite simply unexplainable; it made me physically sick! My ex-boyfriend had posted pictures and a partial video of me on his Instagram and Facebook accounts. The video was only about 20 seconds or so, in the footage I was "twerking" for the camera; however the captions told the whole story. There were several tags and hashtags of recognisable social organisations and work places, as well as my Instagram details; he had obviously decided to cause as much damage as possible.
I called him, got no answer; followed this with a text to find out what the hell was going on and why he had posted the video and pictures on his Instagram? His response was simple and straight to the point.................
"It's war"
Yeah, I know!!! I tried calling but no answer, what a joke; I didn't know what to do, by this time I was receiving numerous calls but was too afraid to answer because I suspected they were related to his posts.
I was lonely, confused, scared, vulnerable and I felt violated!! I was shaking and crying uncontrollably, just so alone!! I didn't sleep or leave my house for 48 hours, I had experienced every emotion possible and drunk myself into oblivion. How could this man who I'd spent so many wonderful years of my life with treat me this way?? I was totally numb and devastated, then it hit me............ I'm not going out like this, no f@#*ing way!! I'm going to own this shit!!
Hold on though, this thought only crossed my mind as I was attempting to harm myself, this is the state I had got myself into.................
I'm still a strong woman and better than all of this; I had decided that really it was him who had the real issues and I would do my best to leave him with it. Yes he'd had embarrassed me, debased me but he wasn't going to destroy me. He didn't realise the attention he had drawn to himself by posting it all, I had numerous texts and phone messages supporting me; making sure I was ok, I had felt the love and respect that my FRIENDS have for me and it made me stronger.
It may sound cliché, but that's how I felt; I wasn't going to retaliate or abuse him, this is mine and I will own it!! Now I don't know if you realise how big an issue this is becoming? How much revenge porn is happening right now? You'll never understand what it feels like unless you are or become a victim!! I am very lucky because of my personality, believe me I am in the minority where that's concerned; fortunate to be able to get up and dust myself off, and move FORWARD there are others who cannot.
REMEMBER I OWN IT AND IT CANNOT DO ME ANY MORE HARM, I'M TOO STRONG FOR THAT!!
This is the least offensive picture he posted, I cannot put the video or others up as they are very offensive; pornographic and I am only trying to create awareness not launch a new career in porn!!!
I'm going to leave it here now, I feel I've said my piece and aired my opinions!! By the way, I'm Mia Rose!!
Thank You 💖🇬🇧🇬🇧💖
