But in the end, is it really so wrong to seek a kind of attention with these kind of videos? It is SO important to raise awareness! Because girls and boys are told to forget about it and move on, are told that "it happened", that they should wear the right clothes to not draw attention to themselves like NO. Victims are not to be made small, they should be so, so big and be able to draw strength from people around them. You have the highest form of respect from me, I adore that you made this video.
I was at work stocking a shelf and greeted customers as they walked past. I looked back at them and realised that I had just casually asked "how's it going?" to the man that molested me at 5 years old. I quickly got out of there before my young cousins recognised me (their dad is my abuser). ....that wasn't a happy day. But to spite him I finished my shift even though my manager granted me to leave early! I thought to myself, 'he has taken enough of my life away, and today I'm not letting him stop me earning a living'. Well done on sharing and overcoming! It's a crap process, hey. xxx
Normally I don't like these kinds of videos just because they're very upsetting and somewhat triggering, but this one is different and I really appreciate that you told every part of you story, like things that helped you and you telling your friends. You're unbelievably strong. I was sexually abused for three years and I have to see him every day at school. I haven't felt like I could recover, but your outlook has made me feel like it is possible.
i'm so sorry this happened to you, dude. on halloween two years ago at a party, all of our friends fell asleep together on the floor and i woke up in the middle of the night with a friend of mine spooning me and stroking my hip. he played with my ear and with my lips, even brushing my teeth with his fingernails. he thought i was asleep. when i moved a bit, he shot off of me like he knew he wasn't supposed to be on me like that. i went into shock really. it was terrifying and he tried to deny it happening and told people it didn't happen. i hate that this happens to people. i showered afterwards and scratched at my skin bc i felt like i'd been damaged bc he had touched me without my permission and it was really strange. i'm okay now but it's really no joke. thanks for this video i actually am feeling more okay knowing that other people have experienced things like this
Elliot Alexander thats so horrible!! I hate how people do this just because they feel like they can get away with this? I am so so soooo irked and mad!
This made me cry. Freya 💖 you are so so beautiful and strong. This would have been so hard for you. So much love and keep fighting everyday, you are worth it xxxx
Thank you so much for sharing your story Freya! I can't imagine how difficult this must have been for you but I also hope it was empowering ❤ I know this will help so many people to realise they are not alone and have somewhere to start with working through it.
Freya, thank you so much for sharing your story. I also experienced sexual abuse as a child from someone close to me. I didn't remember it until I was about 19 and it all hit me like a wave. All of a sudden the images came into my mind clear as day. I froze and felt it as if it was happening right in that moment. I remembered the room exactly as it was, most of what happened though I have blank spots, the way the person smelled, looked, the words they said to try and manipulate me with their feelings. It shaped so many things in my life and I didn't even realize it. What happened during that time was reoccurring and it's interesting how my mind blocked it out to protect me for so long. Not being able to process any of it as a child had pros, and cons. It took me a long time to even be able to speak the words out loud myself. It helps to hear another story, and reminds me that I am not alone, and that it was not my fault. I finally went to therapy at age 28 and she opened my eyes to the fact that I was sexually molested. Prior I never spoke the words and when I finally did...it lost a bit of its power over me. I am 29 and still releasing the shame I acquired from the age of about 11-12. Thank you for being vulnerable and reminding me of the power of speaking about this♡♡♡ sending you lots of love. You are beautiful, worthy, and so kind.
I relate to so much of what you said and by the end of the video I was in tears. The first (and probably only) time I went to a club last year I was sexually assaulted and it's fucked up and I makes you feel so personally violated. I hope one day I'll be able to tell my story to more people like you because guilt can manifest itself in many forms and cause many negative repercussions. Telling a person that something isn't their fault doesn't magically make the self-blame go away but letting others know they're not alone is a very powerful thing. I'm sending you all the virtual hugs I can offer because you are so courageous to share this with us and I do feel less alone so from the bottom of my heart thank you x
sending you so much love freya, i'm so sorry this happened to you, truly nobody deserves this and i'm so proud that you haven't let this hold you back from embracing your future!! tw: - - - - - i've been assaulted 3 times by different people in the past year (most recently last saturday) and this has really inspired me and given me the strength to try and push through the trauma and brokenness i often feel, so i can persevere with the court case for the first one and hopefully get some closure and justice. thank you so much for speaking out about such an important issue
I told myself I wouldn't cry but I'm just in so much awe of you. You are so incredibly strong and I can't explain in words how much of an impact this video made to me. You are incredible so thank you for speaking up and for the supportive, moving words you said to spread awareness xx
Im in tears. This calmed me so much. I was eight years old when stuff happened. im really not over it, i developed insomnia recently,because i just have realized the importance of what did he do to me,and i just cant stop thinking about it. i cant sleep without reliving the whole thing in my head. I dont want to but i just cant unsee it. But this video really,really helped me. And thankfully i have a friend who i love as a sister helped me so much,two months ago i got really drunk by myself,i just wanted to unsee his face in my head,and i though alcohol would help,but it just made me cry so hard. So i called her,and told her. She already sensed that something like that could have happened to me because i was very cold and anxious around guys,and i just dont want to get into a relationship no matter what. She cried. i did too but it helped me,and comforted me. So did this video. Thank you,i look up to you,and your other videos are a e s t h e t i c as fuck and art. i love you
thanks so much for having the courage to share this, this is why i look up to you so much. you're so strong and inspiring, you have such a beautiful heart and i just wanna give u a million hugs.
you are very very strong, i had a similar experience, this really helped. this is very inspiring. im really proud (tho i dont know you) that you opened up so much to your audience. much much love xx
You are so incredibly strong and so beautiful. You inspire so many people to be themselves and I'm so happy that I've had the pleasure of being in your presence. You are so full of light that it's contagious ✨ sending so much love
You are so strong and courageous. You are so inspiring to people who have experienced this because I can see how brave and honest you are to tell us about this. I love you so much, Freya!! No one SHOULD be sexually assaulted.
i'm watching in august of 2017 and thinking about how many people you have helped with this video,how many lives were positively impacted from this. thank you so much for opening up to us and helping others. definitely one of my favorite videos by you. i think this will also inspire others to be loyal to the friends who stick with you and are honest and kind and to disregard the ones who could hurt them. much love from your subscribers! :)
babe, i found you on Instagram a few months ago and honestly, i am just so shocked about such an amazing person you are. I am so proud that you have overcome this and I am so proud that you have the strength to speak out about it. (I know I am a little bit late to this video but anyway) Thank you so much for sharing your story, you are such a beautiful person inside and out xoxox
Hi, Freya. I will tell you: this is my first comment ever. I've never felt the urge to write something but now I just wanted to tell you so much how beautiful you are. You're a wonderful person from the inside and the ouside. Hugs from the Netherlands.
Thank you for making this video! It truly evoked very strong emotions in me. I was sexually assaulted last summer by a man I met at a afterparty, where I was too drunk to give my consent. It was a painful, traumatic experience. I have struggled since with anxiety and depression which has affected my schoolwork, my family and my relationship to my boyfriend, the later with whom I have had to part with recently. It is terrible to know that so many people are victims of sexual assualt. I wish we taught kids in school about consent and quit shaming the victims. Your video is one of many and I believe that you sharing your story will help many of us. Because most of us need to know that we are not alone in this.
hi, my name is Kaitlan and i discovered your channel yesterday. I am so glad i did, you are so beautiful, strong and inspiring. I'm glad that you shared this video because it does inspire people to stay strong and taht if they have been through these kinds of situations that they are not alone. I am also Australian by the way!! i love your channel and you are such a beautiful person inside and out!I also love your style and vibe, keep it up! the world needs more people like you! i wish i could give you a hug :)
you are so strong and unique love. thank you for being brave enough to share your story to make people feel better and not alone i want to hug you . This video is so comforting to me it helps a lot
Thank you for making this video. I feel and agree with every word you said. Sadly I understand everything you said, because I've experienced these things. I love you for helping me and others by sharing your story. You are lovely, and if you ever need to talk, you can write to me too. Thank you and I'm proud of you too.
you are so tough, and it is so helpful for so many people for this to be brought up. it is such a tough subject to talk about, and you are so incredibly wise and strong. we all love, support and look up to you
Thank you so much for posting this. It's easy for victims to blame ourselves and think that we are not deserving of any sort of comfort or validation after events like these. It's nice to be reminded that what we're feeling is completely rational and that we are deserving of love. You're resilient and smart and I seriously admire you for this :))
you are such a strong, brave and positive person for overcoming this, you did not deserve this and neither does anyone else, thank you for making this video and I hope that it helps some else in the position that you where in xx
you are so beautiful and so strong. im so proud of you for opening up about your past. you have motivated me enough to help me open up about my assault and i know how hard it is to go through this type of issue and come out in one piece.
you just deserve a million hugs :) you're so brave for talking openly about what happened to you and your friends (unfortunately...) because it helps lots of people ... Thank you so much
Honestly you are one of the strongest people i know and i can't thank you enough for putting this out there,and helping raise sexual assault awareness,you are such a brave women!Thank you
Even though i'm not struggling with the same experience or going through the same thing but i've been bullied and i felt that this video has made me feel better about myself, that i'm strong enough and i'll be able to get through it one day and be happy too. thank you for making this video ❤️
Freya you are so brave and strong to tell the world your story and to raise awareness about the shitty ass crap that NO ONE should have to deal with in their life, i really appreciate this video thank you ❤️ sending lots of love xxx
You're so powerful. When I was 5 my cousin used to do dirty things to me, it lasted at least 6 months and of course the "level" increase between days and days, my mom knew the truth when I was like 12 and she was so panicked but nothing happened to him, no one else in my family knows and he wasn't punished in any way. I'm 18 years I've never dated anyone, I've barely kissed guys 4 years ago and because of that I can't even afford the idea of someone talking in my ear.
I'm so proud of you for being able to share this. Things will get better and you will eventually feel comfortable with yourself. I'm sorry you never experienced justice as so many of us unfortunately haven't x
Ana Maria Trujillo same 18 never dated and can't ever even imagine dating anyone.I never been in love or even close. I don't even love my parents I sort of feel this is because I was sexually assaulted by a family member and never had no one to talk to it about it no one in life that actually listens to me. I could keep going but I don't want to ramble. Anyway stay strong
Hi freya, I know you uploaded this video a while ago, but I've just discovered your channel. I have to say, not only you are GOURGEOS in the outside, but also you have a BEAUTIFUL soul. It is so brave to post a video like this, and sure you're going to help others in this situation! You MUST be so proud of yourself, you are inspiring and so strong. I send you a very big hug and lots of love from Spain
I want to thank you so much for making this video. I too was sexually assaulted in the same way around the same age. I am 21 and have kept it a secret from most people including my immediate family ever since and this video has inspired me to find closure from my situation and overcome it. You are so strong and wonderful, Freya
You're an angel. And you're so right, no one deserves to go through that, just like you didn't. I'm really sorry it happened. I'm glad you've been able to feel better with time and support. You deserve the best. Love and light 💛✨
this is one of the most inspirational videos i have ever watched and there are no words to express how strong and wonderful you are, all i can say is that i want to give you a hug, a really big one at that.
i cry in this video. you are so strong and an inspiration to others. thank you for sharing your story. and i just want to give you a very big hug. Love you.
I just want to say that you are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are so strong and should be so so so proud of yourself for over coming this. I myself have never come close to sexual assault, but a few years ago i experienced stalking and harassment which played out over about a year. It has really affected me and made me stronger, but at the time i had no hope and i just wanted to give up... my close friends and family were noticing something wasn't right but when they asked about it i just kept toning everything down and making it seem like a much smaller ordeal than what it really was. Finally i told some friends who helped me gather enough courage to tell my parents. I let them know in the same way as you did, in a letter... and they were understanding and made me feel so much more safe than i had felt for so long. I just wished that i had of reached out earlier. So if anyone reading this is going through something hard, then reach out -whether that is to friends, family or even to a hotline. In my case, i was only 14 at the time and the police had to get involved so i would not have been able to make it if it had not been for the support from those around me. It was videos like this which reminded me that you are never alone in this and are not the only one going through it, so thank you again, you are such a beautiful and inspiring soul.
i went through something similar to what you went through, but definitely not at all to that extent. i was probably 4-6 on a camping trip with my family and the guy was 12-14 and he chased me around and made me show him me and he showed me himself, i'm so glad it didn't extend to anything more and ive always been thankful for that. its definitely not anything compared to yours but its amazing to have someone share something you connect with and its shows you a different side to it all. thank you xx
I have had a very similar experience to you. Locked in a bedroom with a young boy a little older than me, family friend and my mum and dad were downstairs and I can only say I was younger than 10. Told me if I don't take my pants off and have sex with him he will tell my parents.... Whatever it was. I was obviously really scared he would tell them. So I pulled my pants down and let him do what he wanted. I had no idea it was rape till. I turned about 18. And it didn't effect me much (apart from trusting people and hating men, issues with intimacy) but when I was told it was rape after I told my friends I then got really angry and Im not suffering from issues related to it for the past 4 years. Why would I have such a delayed response? Im so angry and I hate men I trust noone.. He took advantage, he's still. Out there... He should never have thought that was okay.... Why would boys think this is okay!!!?
this made me cry and i haven't cried in so long. it was definitely happy and sad sad tears, happy because you spoke on it and definitely helped me and i know you helped others with this. sad because it's so painful feeling your pain and relating to it hurts as well. i love you , ima comment this on every video i watch of u because you're just amazing .
you are the reason why i love my body. i downloaded some of your videos as mp3 files and i was listening to them before my exam started, yesterday. you made me smile and get rid of emotions. you are the best thing that i've found. thank you.
You inspire me to share my bullying journey and help others through this in some possible way as it breaks my heart knowing that this is still happening, I feel your pain and I send you so much love but I feel I cannot understand as much as a person would who has gone through something more similar as you. Stay strong 💪🏻
you are so strong and I thank you so much for posting this. It must have been really hard, but thank you. You're so beautiful and I just want to hug you. xo
I Love Her! Freya, You have so much Strength, Grace, & Beauty. The fact that You’ve overcome this & are there to help not just others dealing with trauma but all Women recognize their strength & power is truly so inspiring. Ppl like u make this World a more beautiful place 🌻 We are meant to build eachother up, never to tear eachother down 🙂
nobody deserves it, i cant imagine how difficult was your situation when you were a kid. omg. sending you a lot of hugs and kisses from brazil ❤️ continue to be this strong woman!
Hey Freya, I hope you're reading this... I'm 16 years old, and I feel like I am kind of an outlaw, I don't get bullied or so, nobody's telling lies about me, but I don't have as many friends as others in my age. In my class and grade I only talk with like seven persons in total. Here in Germany (I don't know how it is in other countries), almost everybody is partying a lot who is in my age group. They have many friends, they often meet up to drink, smoke etc... I've never been drunk or have smoked, but I just want to belong to the others and party too...but I'm to shy to talk to people...especially to boys. I've never had a boyfriend, I don't even talk to boys, I don't have many social contacts... Do you have any tips to change my situation?
Hey, ich bin Marie und 19 Jahre alt. Ich versteh was du meinst, ich war früher auch viel schüchterner als jetzt. Ich bin mit 16 auch nicht wirklich trinken gegangen oder sonst was. Das kam bei mir 1-2 Jahre später, was in keiner Weise schlimm ist. 😊 Auch wenn ich erst 3-4 Jahre älter bin, kann ich aber schon sagen dass ich innerhalb dieser Zeit gelernt habe aus mich rauszukommen und so neue Freunde kennenzulernen! Natürlich ist aller Anfang schwer, aber du solltest dich nicht kleiner machen als du bist!
Helena Mayer Ich bin auch aus Deutschland und als ich gerade deinen Kommentar durchgelesen hab, habe ich für einen Moment gedacht das haette ich geschrieben! Mir geht es genau gleich
I´m so sorry.... I can imagine how horrible it has to be, but it makes me so happy to see how strong you are! Your videos are so inspiring and you really should be proud of yourelf! You never gave up and that´s important!
this honestly means so much to me. when i was young, like really young my birth mother's boy friend sexually abused and mouth raped me. and i just want to say you are so so so strong for talking about it, especially on the internet. you are definitely a good person and a very good role model for people.
You're so brave! And you are gonna help so many people. Even though i don't know you I'm so proud of you and what you've accomplished. I hope you keep going in this path of confidence and self love, and love yourself a little more everyday
You are an incredible person. This video is courageous and beautiful, and I am glad you're so strong that you want to take care of others who have suffered as you have. Keep moving forward in life, you're wonderful, nothing can stop you. I hope you get all the love you deserve.
A similar thing happened to me and I can't stress how important it is to tell your parents and those who are close to you. Don't be ashamed to reach out to people for help, it's unbelievable how things have changed for me since telling my parents. When things like this happen you realise how precious the people around you are, and them treating you the way you deserve will make you do the same for yourself. I'm sorry this happened to you, and I'm so glad for you that you are seeing the light. You give me great hope for my healing process ☺
you are amazing Freya! you are so strong and so inspirational.. I look up to you so much, I aspire to be as strong as you, especially trying to deal with my anxiety. so I say thankyou for being this strong woman x
I also went through sexual abuse when I was seven years old, a teacher of mine, I went to the psychologist and did treatment because of the crises I had, nightmares, and being aggressive, but no one ever knew what happened, they just thought I was a troubled child. And they had no way of knowing, because I never told anyone. Anyway, I got over it and it was fine, but recently I was abused again (last year), by my stepfather .. and my nightmare came back, I came back to feel bad things, yes, I'm going to the psychologist and psychiatrist, unfortunately I tried suicide several times and I feel like crap constantly, but thanks to your channel, the way you show your love for the world and spread good things through your videos, it calms me down and makes me feel more love for life, for me and for our planet. Watching your videos does me good, of course it does not replace the treatment, but it is a great complement to my days. I still feel very dirty and bad, but I'm happy to have discovered your channel, please continue this person with compassion and love, thank you Freya, you make my days better ♡
You are so beautiful. While watching this I could feel your pain as clearly as I do mine. You have shown me that there is hope and that there will always be a bright side to the darkness of this world. Thank you so much for your bravery in making this video. You are truly an inspirational angel.
"Not a victim, but a survivor." This subject is really dificult for me but you actually show it's actually bearable on this video. Thankyou so much for make awarness about this matter, no one should feel guilty for being sexually assaulted. Big hugs, you are an heroine!
The fact that she has to explain that she is not looking for attention breaks my heart. She encourages people to tell their story to stop blaming their self and not to feel like they are alone or they should be ashamed of it . Sorry for my english lysm you are an inspiration♥️♥️
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have experienced something similar in childhood and had the same struggles you had with your body image. I just stumbled across your channel while looking for dorm room ideas and I fell in love. You are such a strong and inspiring person and I love how different you are...definitely in a good way. :) You and your videos are both beautiful and artistic. Not a lot of UA-camrs create more artistically styled videos and I love that you do. New favorite UA-camr!!!
Let's just take a moment to appreciate her dog and how he tried to comfort her throughout the video
Elizabeth S. he truly can feel her pain. i love dogs
I squeal every time
Lucas Devlin wtf it’s not her fault you must be a really mean and unhappy person to take 1 minute of your life to say that to a person
DOGS KNOWS .
Serpent Athena I was thinking the same thing. Animals just sense our emotions. They have such unconditional love for us.
i wanna give you a hug. you are so strong and inspiring
I want to give all of u 10 hugs, sending u so much love thank you!
this video popped up after i decided to confront what happened to me when i was seven. desperately needed. thank you you strong resilient woman.
I never write comments but girl you're so strong. You're definitely a role model :)
Emma Sdn and a model over all!
@@fayh9398 um
no one deserves this. you are extremely strong. i love you.
we're all a lot stronger than we give ourselves credit for x
Freyahaley of
Freyahaley im sorry
But in the end, is it really so wrong to seek a kind of attention with these kind of videos? It is SO important to raise awareness! Because girls and boys are told to forget about it and move on, are told that "it happened", that they should wear the right clothes to not draw attention to themselves like NO. Victims are not to be made small, they should be so, so big and be able to draw strength from people around them. You have the highest form of respect from me, I adore that you made this video.
This comment means so much to me, thanku!
it's terrible how many people are suffering from sexual assault... i'm so glad you turned things around!
Still going on .
I was at work stocking a shelf and greeted customers as they walked past.
I looked back at them and realised that I had just casually asked "how's it going?" to the man that molested me at 5 years old.
I quickly got out of there before my young cousins recognised me (their dad is my abuser).
....that wasn't a happy day.
But to spite him I finished my shift even though my manager granted me to leave early!
I thought to myself, 'he has taken enough of my life away, and today I'm not letting him stop me earning a living'.
Well done on sharing and overcoming! It's a crap process, hey. xxx
also your pup loves u
Normally I don't like these kinds of videos just because they're very upsetting and somewhat triggering, but this one is different and I really appreciate that you told every part of you story, like things that helped you and you telling your friends. You're unbelievably strong. I was sexually abused for three years and I have to see him every day at school. I haven't felt like I could recover, but your outlook has made me feel like it is possible.
even thought i dont know you personally, if you ever need someone to vent to, you can always message me
You are a blessing to this world
you are so strong and inspirational you did not deserve this. no one does. u are a beautiful girl and you inspire me i love you x
I agree, no one does. Love ya
i'm so sorry this happened to you, dude. on halloween two years ago at a party, all of our friends fell asleep together on the floor and i woke up in the middle of the night with a friend of mine spooning me and stroking my hip. he played with my ear and with my lips, even brushing my teeth with his fingernails. he thought i was asleep. when i moved a bit, he shot off of me like he knew he wasn't supposed to be on me like that. i went into shock really. it was terrifying and he tried to deny it happening and told people it didn't happen. i hate that this happens to people. i showered afterwards and scratched at my skin bc i felt like i'd been damaged bc he had touched me without my permission and it was really strange. i'm okay now but it's really no joke. thanks for this video i actually am feeling more okay knowing that other people have experienced things like this
Elliot Alexander thats so horrible!! I hate how people do this just because they feel like they can get away with this? I am so so soooo irked and mad!
i want someone to look me the same way your dog looks at you bruh
you're so brave and I admire a lot your courage and confidence!
Love ya!
This made me cry. Freya 💖 you are so so beautiful and strong. This would have been so hard for you. So much love and keep fighting everyday, you are worth it xxxx

Thank you so much for sharing your story Freya! I can't imagine how difficult this must have been for you but I also hope it was empowering ❤ I know this will help so many people to realise they are not alone and have somewhere to start with working through it.
it was, I feel very free! thank you so much
thank you so much for sharing this, you're so strong and this is so appreciated by me and so many others
Love u, thank you so much xx
Freya, thank you so much for sharing your story. I also experienced sexual abuse as a child from someone close to me. I didn't remember it until I was about 19 and it all hit me like a wave. All of a sudden the images came into my mind clear as day. I froze and felt it as if it was happening right in that moment. I remembered the room exactly as it was, most of what happened though I have blank spots, the way the person smelled, looked, the words they said to try and manipulate me with their feelings. It shaped so many things in my life and I didn't even realize it. What happened during that time was reoccurring and it's interesting how my mind blocked it out to protect me for so long. Not being able to process any of it as a child had pros, and cons. It took me a long time to even be able to speak the words out loud myself. It helps to hear another story, and reminds me that I am not alone, and that it was not my fault. I finally went to therapy at age 28 and she opened my eyes to the fact that I was sexually molested. Prior I never spoke the words and when I finally did...it lost a bit of its power over me. I am 29 and still releasing the shame I acquired from the age of about 11-12. Thank you for being vulnerable and reminding me of the power of speaking about this♡♡♡ sending you lots of love. You are beautiful, worthy, and so kind.
You are so brave, strong and inspiring
love ya!
You're so incredibly strong. Thank you very much for making this... It really helped me a lot :)
I'm so glad it helped, you are worthy xxx
I relate to so much of what you said and by the end of the video I was in tears. The first (and probably only) time I went to a club last year I was sexually assaulted and it's fucked up and I makes you feel so personally violated. I hope one day I'll be able to tell my story to more people like you because guilt can manifest itself in many forms and cause many negative repercussions. Telling a person that something isn't their fault doesn't magically make the self-blame go away but letting others know they're not alone is a very powerful thing. I'm sending you all the virtual hugs I can offer because you are so courageous to share this with us and I do feel less alone so from the bottom of my heart thank you x
love how genuine you are and you are not sugar coating it in order to give the best advice x
sending you so much love freya, i'm so sorry this happened to you, truly nobody deserves this and i'm so proud that you haven't let this hold you back from embracing your future!!

i've been assaulted 3 times by different people in the past year (most recently last saturday) and this has really inspired me and given me the strength to try and push through the trauma and brokenness i often feel, so i can persevere with the court case for the first one and hopefully get some closure and justice. thank you so much for speaking out about such an important issue
I'm so sorry this happened to you, sending u all the love n strength in the world xxx
You are really strong and you are still a beautiful person, you have always been
Sending a HUGE internet hug from me to you. You are so STRONG! Don't let any of those people drag you down. You are loved you are loved you are loved
sending u so much LOVE
I told myself I wouldn't cry but I'm just in so much awe of you. You are so incredibly strong and I can't explain in words how much of an impact this video made to me. You are incredible so thank you for speaking up and for the supportive, moving words you said to spread awareness xx
Im in tears. This calmed me so much. I was eight years old when stuff happened. im really not over it, i developed insomnia recently,because i just have realized the importance of what did he do to me,and i just cant stop thinking about it. i cant sleep without reliving the whole thing in my head. I dont want to but i just cant unsee it.
But this video really,really helped me. And thankfully i have a friend who i love as a sister helped me so much,two months ago i got really drunk by myself,i just wanted to unsee his face in my head,and i though alcohol would help,but it just made me cry so hard. So i called her,and told her. She already sensed that something like that could have happened to me because i was very cold and anxious around guys,and i just dont want to get into a relationship no matter what. She cried. i did too but it helped me,and comforted me. So did this video. Thank you,i look up to you,and your other videos are a e s t h e t i c as fuck and art. i love you
thanks so much for having the courage to share this, this is why i look up to you so much. you're so strong and inspiring, you have such a beautiful heart and i just wanna give u a million hugs.
you are very very strong, i had a similar experience, this really helped. this is very inspiring. im really proud (tho i dont know you) that you opened up so much to your audience. much much love xx
You are so incredibly strong and so beautiful. You inspire so many people to be themselves and I'm so happy that I've had the pleasure of being in your presence. You are so full of light that it's contagious ✨ sending so much love
as someone who was also sexually assaulted when they was little, by an adult; this video means a lot to me.
you're such a brave woman, I'm so proud of you
You are so strong and courageous. You are so inspiring to people who have experienced this because I can see how brave and honest you are to tell us about this. I love you so much, Freya!! No one SHOULD be sexually assaulted.
i'm watching in august of 2017 and thinking about how many people you have helped with this video,how many lives were positively impacted from this. thank you so much for opening up to us and helping others. definitely one of my favorite videos by you.
i think this will also inspire others to be loyal to the friends who stick with you and are honest and kind and to disregard the ones who could hurt them.
much love from your subscribers! :)
this broke my heart and put it back together again all at once. thank you for this freya
THIS DOG SHOULD BE A THERAPY DOG LIKE LOOK AT THIS GOOD DOGGO
babe, i found you on Instagram a few months ago and honestly, i am just so shocked about such an amazing person you are. I am so proud that you have overcome this and I am so proud that you have the strength to speak out about it. (I know I am a little bit late to this video but anyway) Thank you so much for sharing your story, you are such a beautiful person inside and out
xoxox
So so proud of you, you are such a strong woman! xxxx
thank you!
You're such a amazing,strong person. No one deserves this but I so glad you're ok now and willing to help other people ❤
thank you xx
Hi, Freya. I will tell you: this is my first comment ever. I've never felt the urge to write something but now I just wanted to tell you so much how beautiful you are. You're a wonderful person from the inside and the ouside. Hugs from the Netherlands.
Thank you for making this video! It truly evoked very strong emotions in me. I was sexually assaulted last summer by a man I met at a afterparty, where I was too drunk to give my consent. It was a painful, traumatic experience. I have struggled since with anxiety and depression which has affected my schoolwork, my family and my relationship to my boyfriend, the later with whom I have had to part with recently. It is terrible to know that so many people are victims of sexual assualt. I wish we taught kids in school about consent and quit shaming the victims. Your video is one of many and I believe that you sharing your story will help many of us. Because most of us need to know that we are not alone in this.
hi, my name is Kaitlan and i discovered your channel yesterday. I am so glad i did, you are so beautiful, strong and inspiring. I'm glad that you shared this video because it does inspire people to stay strong and taht if they have been through these kinds of situations that they are not alone. I am also Australian by the way!! i love your channel and you are such a beautiful person inside and out!I also love your style and vibe, keep it up! the world needs more people like you! i wish i could give you a hug :)
who the fuck disliked
as you said no one deserves this. you are strong. thank you for this. ♥️
you are so strong and unique love. thank you for being brave enough to share your story to make people feel better and not alone i want to hug you . This video is so comforting to me it helps a lot
Such beautiful words to match a soul as golden as yours, you are so brave🕊
ur such an amazing human freya. you are so brave and strong and i know you will help lots of people with this video. sending lots of love ❤️
Thank you for making this video. I feel and agree with every word you said. Sadly I understand everything you said, because I've experienced these things. I love you for helping me and others by sharing your story. You are lovely, and if you ever need to talk, you can write to me too. Thank you and I'm proud of you too.
you are so tough, and it is so helpful for so many people for this to be brought up. it is such a tough subject to talk about, and you are so incredibly wise and strong. we all love, support and look up to you
Your so strong, I love you. where did you get your black top from ?
motel!
Thank you so much for posting this. It's easy for victims to blame ourselves and think that we are not deserving of any sort of comfort or validation after events like these. It's nice to be reminded that what we're feeling is completely rational and that we are deserving of love. You're resilient and smart and I seriously admire you for this :))
You are so strong and an amazing example for people who have been through similar situations. Sending all my love to you!
So incredibly brave and courageous to discuss this so openly. Thank you for sharing your story. I admire you a lot. You are strong and beautiful xx
you are such a strong, brave and positive person for overcoming this, you did not deserve this and neither does anyone else, thank you for making this video and I hope that it helps some else in the position that you where in xx
you are so beautiful and so strong. im so proud of you for opening up about your past. you have motivated me enough to help me open up about my assault and i know how hard it is to go through this type of issue and come out in one piece.
you just deserve a million hugs :) you're so brave for talking openly about what happened to you and your friends (unfortunately...) because it helps lots of people ... Thank you so much
Honestly you are one of the strongest people i know and i can't thank you enough for putting this out there,and helping raise sexual assault awareness,you are such a brave women!Thank you
I'm sorry for what happened. I'm so proud of you, you're so strong and beautiful. You're already one of my favorite UA-camrs omg ily Freya 😌
Even though i'm not struggling with the same experience or going through the same thing but i've been bullied and i felt that this video has made me feel better about myself, that i'm strong enough and i'll be able to get through it one day and be happy too. thank you for making this video ❤️
MZ yes you will
Freya you are so brave and strong to tell the world your story and to raise awareness about the shitty ass crap that NO ONE should have to deal with in their life, i really appreciate this video thank you ❤️ sending lots of love xxx
You're so powerful.
When I was 5 my cousin used to do dirty things to me, it lasted at least 6 months and of course the "level" increase between days and days, my mom knew the truth when I was like 12 and she was so panicked but nothing happened to him, no one else in my family knows and he wasn't punished in any way. I'm 18 years I've never dated anyone, I've barely kissed guys 4 years ago and because of that I can't even afford the idea of someone talking in my ear.
I'm so proud of you for being able to share this. Things will get better and you will eventually feel comfortable with yourself. I'm sorry you never experienced justice as so many of us unfortunately haven't x
Ana Maria Trujillo same 18 never dated and can't ever even imagine dating anyone.I never been in love or even close. I don't even love my parents I sort of feel this is because I was sexually assaulted by a family member and never had no one to talk to it about it no one in life that actually listens to me. I could keep going but I don't want to ramble. Anyway stay strong
Hi freya, I know you uploaded this video a while ago, but I've just discovered your channel. I have to say, not only you are GOURGEOS in the outside, but also you have a BEAUTIFUL soul. It is so brave to post a video like this, and sure you're going to help others in this situation! You MUST be so proud of yourself, you are inspiring and so strong.
I send you a very big hug and lots of love from Spain
i don't know you personally but i love you so much! you are so strong, inspiring, and incredibly beautiful. thank you so much for sharing this
I want to thank you so much for making this video. I too was sexually assaulted in the same way around the same age. I am 21 and have kept it a secret from most people including my immediate family ever since and this video has inspired me to find closure from my situation and overcome it. You are so strong and wonderful, Freya
You're an angel. And you're so right, no one deserves to go through that, just like you didn't. I'm really sorry it happened. I'm glad you've been able to feel better with time and support. You deserve the best. Love and light 💛✨
this is one of the most inspirational videos i have ever watched and there are no words to express how strong and wonderful you are, all i can say is that i want to give you a hug, a really big one at that.
i cry in this video. you are so strong and an inspiration to others. thank you for sharing your story. and i just want to give you a very big hug. Love you.
it's no problem, sending u love!!!
I just want to say that you are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are so strong and should be so so so proud of yourself for over coming this.
I myself have never come close to sexual assault, but a few years ago i experienced stalking and harassment which played out over about a year. It has really affected me and made me stronger, but at the time i had no hope and i just wanted to give up... my close friends and family were noticing something wasn't right but when they asked about it i just kept toning everything down and making it seem like a much smaller ordeal than what it really was. Finally i told some friends who helped me gather enough courage to tell my parents. I let them know in the same way as you did, in a letter... and they were understanding and made me feel so much more safe than i had felt for so long. I just wished that i had of reached out earlier. So if anyone reading this is going through something hard, then reach out -whether that is to friends, family or even to a hotline.
In my case, i was only 14 at the time and the police had to get involved so i would not have been able to make it if it had not been for the support from those around me.
It was videos like this which reminded me that you are never alone in this and are not the only one going through it, so thank you again, you are such a beautiful and inspiring soul.
i went through something similar to what you went through, but definitely not at all to that extent. i was probably 4-6 on a camping trip with my family and the guy was 12-14 and he chased me around and made me show him me and he showed me himself, i'm so glad it didn't extend to anything more and ive always been thankful for that. its definitely not anything compared to yours but its amazing to have someone share something you connect with and its shows you a different side to it all. thank you xx
I have had a very similar experience to you. Locked in a bedroom with a young boy a little older than me, family friend and my mum and dad were downstairs and I can only say I was younger than 10. Told me if I don't take my pants off and have sex with him he will tell my parents.... Whatever it was. I was obviously really scared he would tell them. So I pulled my pants down and let him do what he wanted. I had no idea it was rape till. I turned about 18. And it didn't effect me much (apart from trusting people and hating men, issues with intimacy) but when I was told it was rape after I told my friends I then got really angry and Im not suffering from issues related to it for the past 4 years. Why would I have such a delayed response? Im so angry and I hate men I trust noone.. He took advantage, he's still. Out there... He should never have thought that was okay.... Why would boys think this is okay!!!?
this made me cry and i haven't cried in so long. it was definitely happy and sad sad tears, happy because you spoke on it and definitely helped me and i know you helped others with this. sad because it's so painful feeling your pain and relating to it hurts as well. i love you , ima comment this on every video i watch of u because you're just amazing .
you are the reason why i love my body. i downloaded some of your videos as mp3 files and i was listening to them before my exam started, yesterday. you made me smile and get rid of emotions. you are the best thing that i've found. thank you.
You inspire me to share my bullying journey and help others through this in some possible way as it breaks my heart knowing that this is still happening, I feel your pain and I send you so much love but I feel I cannot understand as much as a person would who has gone through something more similar as you. Stay strong 💪🏻
you are so strong and I thank you so much for posting this. It must have been really hard, but thank you. You're so beautiful and I just want to hug you. xo
You're so brave , you deserve so much better , love you ❤
The way her voice crack

Love u ashlee x
this is one of the most inspirational things I've seen in my entire life. good on you Freya.

The fact that You’ve overcome this & are there to help not just others dealing with trauma but all Women recognize their strength & power is truly so inspiring. Ppl like u make this World a more beautiful place 🌻 We are meant to build eachother up, never to tear eachother down 🙂
nobody deserves it, i cant imagine how difficult was your situation when you were a kid. omg. sending you a lot of hugs and kisses from brazil ❤️
continue to be this strong woman!
Hey Freya, I hope you're reading this... I'm 16 years old, and I feel like I am kind of an outlaw, I don't get bullied or so, nobody's telling lies about me, but I don't have as many friends as others in my age. In my class and grade I only talk with like seven persons in total. Here in Germany (I don't know how it is in other countries), almost everybody is partying a lot who is in my age group. They have many friends, they often meet up to drink, smoke etc... I've never been drunk or have smoked, but I just want to belong to the others and party too...but I'm to shy to talk to people...especially to boys. I've never had a boyfriend, I don't even talk to boys, I don't have many social contacts... Do you have any tips to change my situation?
Hey, ich bin Marie und 19 Jahre alt. Ich versteh was du meinst, ich war früher auch viel schüchterner als jetzt. Ich bin mit 16 auch nicht wirklich trinken gegangen oder sonst was. Das kam bei mir 1-2 Jahre später, was in keiner Weise schlimm ist. 😊
Auch wenn ich erst 3-4 Jahre älter bin, kann ich aber schon sagen dass ich innerhalb dieser Zeit gelernt habe aus mich rauszukommen und so neue Freunde kennenzulernen!
Natürlich ist aller Anfang schwer, aber du solltest dich nicht kleiner machen als du bist!
FireOfMyEyes Danke :) Also meinst du dass ich da noch reinkomm, so mit feiern gehn, sich mit Freunden treffen, etc?
Helena Mayer Ich bin auch aus Deutschland und als ich gerade deinen Kommentar durchgelesen hab, habe ich für einen Moment gedacht das haette ich geschrieben! Mir geht es genau gleich
My heart hurts, I want you to remember that you're not alone. You're an extraordinary woman and you deserve nothing but goodness. Xoxo, B
I love you! That's all I can say. I've experienced that and I understand every single word you said. I love love love you.
Love you, things get better xx

hi
You are such a worth, brave and strong person, and so are all of your friends who have gone through the same x
You made me cry. You are so amazing ! How can you be so strong that you make a video of your story. You made my day
I´m so sorry.... I can imagine how horrible it has to be, but it makes me so happy to see how strong you are! Your videos are so inspiring and you really should be proud of yourelf! You never gave up and that´s important!
you are the definition of strength and power and I admire you so so much! you are a massive inspiration! thank you so much for this
anyone can see through the way you are that you have a beautiful heart and i’m sorry this happened to you. you’re so strong and inspiring ❤️
this honestly means so much to me. when i was young, like really young my birth mother's boy friend sexually abused and mouth raped me. and i just want to say you are so so so strong for talking about it, especially on the internet. you are definitely a good person and a very good role model for people.
You're so brave! And you are gonna help so many people. Even though i don't know you I'm so proud of you and what you've accomplished. I hope you keep going in this path of confidence and self love, and love yourself a little more everyday
So brave of you to make this video! 💗💗💗💗💗 so much love
so much love for you too angel !
You are an incredible person. This video is courageous and beautiful, and I am glad you're so strong that you want to take care of others who have suffered as you have. Keep moving forward in life, you're wonderful, nothing can stop you. I hope you get all the love you deserve.
A similar thing happened to me and I can't stress how important it is to tell your parents and those who are close to you. Don't be ashamed to reach out to people for help, it's unbelievable how things have changed for me since telling my parents. When things like this happen you realise how precious the people around you are, and them treating you the way you deserve will make you do the same for yourself. I'm sorry this happened to you, and I'm so glad for you that you are seeing the light. You give me great hope for my healing process ☺
you are amazing Freya! you are so strong and so inspirational.. I look up to you so much, I aspire to be as strong as you, especially trying to deal with my anxiety. so I say thankyou for being this strong woman x
I also went through sexual abuse when I was seven years old, a teacher of mine, I went to the psychologist and did treatment because of the crises I had, nightmares, and being aggressive, but no one ever knew what happened, they just thought I was a troubled child. And they had no way of knowing, because I never told anyone. Anyway, I got over it and it was fine, but recently I was abused again (last year), by my stepfather .. and my nightmare came back, I came back to feel bad things, yes, I'm going to the psychologist and psychiatrist, unfortunately I tried suicide several times and I feel like crap constantly, but thanks to your channel, the way you show your love for the world and spread good things through your videos, it calms me down and makes me feel more love for life, for me and for our planet. Watching your videos does me good, of course it does not replace the treatment, but it is a great complement to my days. I still feel very dirty and bad, but I'm happy to have discovered your channel, please continue this person with compassion and love, thank you Freya, you make my days better ♡
You are so beautiful. While watching this I could feel your pain as clearly as I do mine. You have shown me that there is hope and that there will always be a bright side to the darkness of this world. Thank you so much for your bravery in making this video. You are truly an inspirational angel.
"Not a victim, but a survivor." This subject is really dificult for me but you actually show it's actually bearable on this video. Thankyou so much for make awarness about this matter, no one should feel guilty for being sexually assaulted. Big hugs, you are an heroine!
The fact that she has to explain that she is not looking for attention breaks my heart.
She encourages people to tell their story to stop blaming their self and not to feel like they are alone or they should be ashamed of it .
Sorry for my english lysm you are an inspiration♥️♥️
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have experienced something similar in childhood and had the same struggles you had with your body image. I just stumbled across your channel while looking for dorm room ideas and I fell in love. You are such a strong and inspiring person and I love how different you are...definitely in a good way. :) You and your videos are both beautiful and artistic. Not a lot of UA-camrs create more artistically styled videos and I love that you do. New favorite UA-camr!!!
