On Drowning Out Silence

I’m done being silent while abusers and thieves roam free to hurt others. Yesterday, I was driving to an early appointment (bc a big big day ahead) but google took me a weird way, I looked up from traffic and I was surrounded by #rampartvillage #neighborhoodcouncil flags. Immediately, trauma response triggered. After my appt, I cancelled my entire day except the big big deal but then missed that anyway because I was in so much pain and exhaustion I fell asleep for 13 hours. The Neighborhood Council and @empowerla are regarded by me so I held the liar’s (it’s objective fact) board position as a positive reference to his character when I fought to keep him as a vendor in my wedding and agreed to pay markups because I believed the money would support the Rampart Community. I was wrong. He stole from me. He lied to me. He manipulated me. He traumatized me. Then, knowing I live with autoimmune disease that causes debilitating pain, and it is primarily triggered by trauma and emotional distress, HE DOES IT MORE. So, I took a selfie for you Will Greene and @theholdingco. Don’t worry, bro. I will print a copy for the judge too. 💁🏻#weddingpros #laweddingvendorsandcreatives #laweddings #trauma #theholdingco #rampartvillage #ptsd #abuse #fuckyou
