Dear M:

Your post is a powerful testimony of childhood trauma, valid anger and transformation, expressed so authentically.

“He has affected and tainted, insert inappropriate word, every aspect of my life. And it angers me. And that I’m still suffering, angers me. I’m taking this anger and using it. It has transformed into my purpose.

“My purpose is not to live in fear. Me purpose is not to trapped by my past, memories, pain, fear, and just everything. I refuse to live like this. I have purpose. I am going to heal so that me, my family, and life overall will be better. He is literally rotting in prison, and figurately  I never should have been imprisoned with him. I have the key and I’m never going back in. I have purpose”-

– POWERFUL. Positively Powerful. Thank you for sharing this and please post again, share more, inspire those who read your words with your purpose, courage and determination…?!

most everybody goes through intense experiences as a youth. part of this is individuation. but part also is to set ones path.  it’s good to realize tat even if the most intense thing one ever encountered was someone stealing their gumballs a person would remember tat as a low moment for themselves, and seek a different future. that’s not a good example but basically it doesn’t matter exactly what one experiences as a youth, some of it will be the worst that one has even known and that will set ones path for the future. as one grows older things make less of an impression for high or low. the early highs and lows though will set ones feet on their path. it happens to everyone, and is a necessity. imagine never experiencing highs or lows and then trying to be motivated to follow a specific course. it would be mere drudgery.

plus, someone once said, nobody cares about happy people. it’s only the damaged who are interesting. i would further say that only the damaged have something of depth to contribute. happy people got nothing to contribute less it be dope
