Though I feel like someone who's been through sexual assault, or has something horrible happen to them that's caused by someone else, should not feel that they need to learn a 'lesson,' like they had done something wrong

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it like that, like she had to "learn a lesson." :oops: I meant she learned something about herself, life, other people, healing, heartache, and strength. Those kinds of "life lessons." Some of them you don't want to learn, but life thrusts them upon you anyway.
 
I certainly agree that there are different learning styles. What comes easily to one person may not to another. For instance, I have no intuitive sense of things technical so ask for help, but can envision and implement home renovations.
I like this saying:

Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand.
 
Hello, everyone! Today’s challenges are in two categories, on BYC, and in person. :D
For on BYC:
1. Welcome someone who is new to BYC!
2. Wish someone Happy Birthday!
Leave a positive message on someone’s profile!
For in person:
1. If you have someone else in your household, say something positive and kind to them. If not, write a letter or give someone you know a call to offer words of encouragement and just see how they are doing. :)
2. Write something positive and kind or, if you prefer, put the positivity into artwork. Then either put it somewhere you can see it or give it someone else to brighten their day. 💖
3. Do something for yourself that you enjoy - cooking, reading a good book, doing some artwork...remember, you matter!

Alright, that’s all I have, you can do just a few of those challenges, or all of them, but don’t feel pressured that you have to do any of them either! Let me know if you have any other ideas! :hugs

"All the things that hurt you, actually teach you."

Just read that on another thread, and it is very true.

But, oh, some of the lessons are so painful. So, put it away for a while, if you need to have some space for healing. Then later, look at it again, sometimes bit by bit, and see what you can learn from it.

A friend of mine was a victim of sexual assault. She said she loses patience with people who say things like, "Why does God let bad things happen to the people who love Him?" She said, "He gave me the lessons I learned and the strength I gained from a very painful experience." I thought that was a very wise way to see things.
