Please Don’t Tell Anyone Molly Clark

"I spent five summers working as a tree planter in the rural wilderness of northern British Columbia. It saved my life and almost killed me at the same time. By day, I was doing one of the most physically and emotionally grueling jobs a person can do. Working in the snow, the rain, and the heat, while having scary encounters with bears, wasps, and ATVs, questioning my existence.



And by night, I was sitting by bonfires, taking drugs, having sex, and parting my face off with the greatest community of people I've ever met. "

Submission: “I accidentally became a financial dominatrix at 17 and I am still currently doing it on and off until now. It started off as a really bad and awkward first date and turned into what it is today.”

TW: SA, Rape

Submission: "When I was 16, I was raped by the same person I married about nine months ago. I don't blame him because the school we went to did not teach consent and I froze up so that I couldn't say no out loud. It has made intimacy difficult even to this day and I struggled to find a therapist until recently. "

Summisoin - "I am a 36 year old travel and wildlife photographer. Who in January of 2023 embarked on a trip around the world. In April of 2023, I found myself in Malaysia, where I started dating a handsome Nigerian man. After returning to Thailand to make plans to move closer to him, I found out I was pregnant.

Seeing his odd reaction to the news caused me to do some digging, and I found out that this was part of a new organized crime ring called "Womb Rentals", where men impregnate women for financial gains, citizenship to their country, or even child trafficking. Instead of running back to the States, I decided to buy a one-way ticket return to Malaysia and go after him and everyone involved."

Submission:   "On Friday, June 2012, I was airlifted out of Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. During this near-death experience, I left my physical body and was able to watch almost as a third party as I was airlifted to the cardiac care unit in Chattanooga, Tennessee on life support. The next day I awoke, and by Sunday, June 10th, I miraculously returned to the festival after refusing to be released to a women's shelter. Nine months after the festival, I ended up having a complete mental breakdown, an existential crisis triggered by that experience that led me to do a series of wild and crazy things, landing me in a mental hospital for a week where I forgot my own name for two days. Believing I actually died June 8th,may sound out there. But it all happened and the event became a launching pad for my now 10 years of sobriety after a three year addiction to heroin and opiates. This is a story about mental health and stigmas around drug addictions and addicts. It's been a long journey and I'm very grateful to still be on this earth."
