"I’m not being dramatic when I say that one wrong click changed my life...
...I was instantly taken to a
world of seeing men and women treating each other like animals, depicting abusive
sex. What I saw shocked me, but I couldn’t bring
myself to click away from the
site because of how the images made me feel.
I started going back to it again
and again and it quickly started to twist my perception of what was supposed
to be love. The images were burned into my mind and I couldn’t get them out.
Soon, it became a regular part of my daily life to watch and read pornography. Up
until that point in my life, there was no void in my life that I felt I needed
to fill. Until I found that website.
Then it was like I was constantly trying to satisfy
something I couldn’t fill.
At the age of 15, I started to
become scared of myself. I felt nothing; I felt like I couldn’t fully care for people,
for my body, for my mind, or for my heart.
I just felt numb and hollow all the
time. I viewed everyone around me, including myself, as objects. Nobody really
mattered except for what I saw in porn...
...I just want to let anyone else
who is struggling with porn to know that you don’t have to cry because you
failed last night or today.
You don’t have to feel alone in your weakest moments or
empty at the end of each day. Find a group, find good friends, and find yourself. You can and will win the fight."
