Violated.

It's indescribable how I am feeling at the moment.

Like...

Scared?

Confused?

Shocked?

Ashamed?

Violated.

Usually when I talk to a friend about things, everything feels better. 

But today ... it's different.

This is a diary style entry, just to warn you.

This is a completely true story that I am going to tell you guys just because I want you to be aware of the kind of creeps out there. It's personal... but I think you deserve to know.

Today I was approached a pedophile on a tram. 

I was sitting alone, iPod in, minding my own business when an old man comes and sits next to me.

So he seems to be getting closer and I thought it was my imagination but anyhow I tried to move closer to the window and make myself invisible.

I can't really tell you the details of what he asked me because.. I don't know, it's not that it hurts, but I just feel extremely uncomfortable.

I will tell you the worst thing however. He asked me if my boyfriend was... 

Good.

in.

bed.

Except that's just me being uncomfortable saying that, he didn't say it in those words at all.

At this point I stood up and announced loudly that it was a personal question and moved to sit next to a lady.

So I did the right thing.

Yet...

I feel...

empty.

and

sullen. 

And things are bad when I can't even think of enough words to describe how violated and disgusted I feel.

Which makes me feel extremely empathetic towards rape victims. So much so that my eyes are tearing up just writing this. 

My point is, creeps lurk everywhere. And I want you all to be careful when out in public and if someone is doing something that makes you feel uncomfortable, move away, cause a bit of a public show. Because pedophiles and rapists know what they are doing is wrong and they do not like the attention.

And also, if something does happen, tell your mum. Coz I only just did now and I feel ... cured! :D I'm just glad I got away unharmed. 

Stay safe and aware!

And be extremely careful catching public transport alone. :)
