stories
no pressure no diamonds
December 24, 2019First, I want to say thank you for making Zox and allowing me to be a part of the larger Zox community. I hope my story can help someone. I've been trying to think of the one strap that fits my story. When you released this No Pressure, No Diamonds I knew this strap completely covers all aspects of my story. I also had trouble trying to decide which part of my story to tell. You see I talk about how I was molested by a babysitter when I was around 4 and my step-father used this incident as opening to also start molesting me. He did so until I was 16. I could talk about my how my brother tried to kill me multiple times during our childhood. I could talk about how I was bullied by my schoolmates because I didn't learn any social skills at home, while dealing with the two situations above and being one of six children. I could talk about my two mentally and emotionally abusive marriages. I could talk about how there have since been diagnosed with several mental illnesses. But I would rather talk about all the good things in my life...and Zox is one of those. I would rather talk about how every situation and event in my life has made me a better person. I would rather tell you that it was the pressure of my childhood, two failed marriages, and all of the other stuff has made me stronger and harder, but also brighter and prettier on the inside (I hope). And your new strap No Pressure, No Diamonds completely and perfectly sums that up since diamonds are the hardest and prettiest things on earth. This strap reminds me that I am a diamond, and I would have never gotten here without the pressure I went through in my life, and a lot of support from a lot of people.
