My name is Amber and I am a lesbian survivor of sexual abuse. Creating this site is an extremely personal endeavor for me, as I consider it a piece of my healing process. I have learned how to tell myself that everything happens for a reason and although it's usually very difficult to believe at times, this is what keeps me going.

I know that there are going to be those that will be shocked that I have chosen to create this site, but no one more shocked than I. The reality is that I have been debating whether or not to do this for quite some time now, and I have finally chosen to allow myself the freedom to do it.

At the time of this writing, I am 29 years old and still just finding the courage to tap into the things in my soul that tend to hold me back at times. That courage comes from somewhere within but it has also been nurtured by the love of my life, Janine.

I have always been heavily involved in music. I started playing the guitar at the age of thirteen. I pretty much locked myself in my bedroom with my guitar and my stereo. It was me and my music, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I also enjoy hiking, biking, camping, poetry, art, and reading.

I am currently in therapy. I haven't been going long and it is the first time I have had enough courage to go in all these years. Going to therapy is much harder than sitting down and working on this website. The hardest part about creating this website was just finding the nerve to share this part of me. I am proud of the fact that I was able to do this, and I hope it may possibly inspire those of you who also need an outlet ... to share as well.
