i have gone through a lot, its changed me for the better. i often have flashbacks of times when things were hard, or i was hurt by someone. i wish i could forget but i know i would not be the same person. i wouldn't look at people and the world the same way. i often step carefully these days, to make sure i am not the one causing anyone the hurt or harm that i feel was done to me that i can't forget. the memories are painful, but they have given me awareness. it is everything to me, to hear someone say that i make them feel comfortable, or that the air around me feels calm.
