I am so tired but I don't think it is just work. It is yesterday's talk. I met someone who had similar childhood experiences to mine

And we sort of went on rant trauma dumping about Islamists, the chaos of war, the torture, the missing people, names, places, grudges...

Ahhh

Maybe I did need to remember some of these things but perhaps we should have kept some things for a later time.

Those conversations can be draining but healing. I try to avoid them as much as I can, but when you find someone who can relate and empathize, and most importantly; listen, it’s truly a blessing.

@Younameit These things I wish less people were capable of relating to, it would mean they didn't happen in a larger scale..but they did and they do as we type this.

@Miram Very hard not to. I think everyone is traumatized in some way. Either during their childhood or adulthood. Humans just suck at being humans, that’s how I see it.

@Younameit

It is a spectrum, like any other human experience. But that doesn't really mean it is universal because I do think most people on this website are incapable of relating to me and that's a good thing.

Things are different when I talk to people from Syria, Libya, Sudan, Mali and even Congo..it is an entirely different dimension.
