This hit me hard. As someone who knows what it’s like to carry trauma that tried to break you long after the damage was done, I just want you to know how powerful this is. Not because of the pain in it — but because you survived it long enough to give it words. That takes a kind of courage people who haven’t lived it will never fully understand.
The “twins” concept is honestly incredible. The way you showed that every horrible thing done to you unintentionally created the very things that kept you alive… endurance, courage, survival, hope… that’s devastating and powerful all at once.
I hate that you ever had to become this strong. But I’m damn glad you’re still here. And I hope you never forget that what was done to you says everything about them and nothing about your worth.

Dude!!!
Very profound and well said.
It is the embodiment of how I have come to live my life.
I spent many years thinking I had to avoid adversity.
But I couldn't ever overlook how well I functioned when things were the worst.
I realized that I need the shit show.
I need the hate and senseless attacks.
I need to have everything on the line ...
Turns out that is the only time I grow.
Keep saying it loud ... it's only power is in silence. :-)

@kodiac I am going to be brutally honest.
In 59 years on this earth I have struggled, and still do, to understand most social things.
The things most people subconsciously understand and acclimate to almost effortlessly I have to study and have explained to me.
Not as bad as it sounds but it is true.
That whole thing about violence is never the right choice is only true if you don't mind letting folks get away with being abusive or violent because they don't mind jail.
Dang. I have attempted to write this three times now and have to erase and try again because I keep admitting stuff I can go to jail for. LOL
four ... LOL
It's ok to want people to pay with teeth and broken bones.
I figure if they can make me want to hurt them that bad they must deserve it.
LOL. One of these days I will just say it all plain and straight.. LOL
