Content Warning: This episode describes multiple sexual assaults.
It's 2002. It's the summer before high school starts. I am straddling the line between young, innocent 13-year-old girl who just wants to decorate my journal with glitter and go to the mall with my friends, and a very grown-up young woman who is about to experience one of the most traumatic events of her life.
Listen to the episode to find out what Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah and Vitamin C's Graduation have in common.
