    The unspoken truth I can still remember clearly like it had just occurred a couple days ago, however, it was a decade ago, and till this day it still manifests itself: reconstructing in my mind after each attempt trying to obliterate those obscene and explicit images.

Later on, I grew to understand that it indeed happens frequently, although it is just not spoken of because it’s a delicate topic to talk about. People might be sorry but I do not need their pity either their fake apologies.
