A college student’s letter to her assailant—published in her campus newspaper

I’m a survivor, and I’ve read a lot of things that try to explain what it’s like but this hit different.

It’s a letter from a college student to her assailant, published in The Daily Aztec, a student newspaper at SDSU. She doesn’t hold back. It’s raw, quiet, and devastating in that way only survivors will really understand.

I don’t know her, but I know her story. We all do.

Sharing in case it gives someone language for their own pain or at least makes them feel less alone.
