Ryguy — Your response is just poetic that just begs to be turned into its own piece. I agree that past traumas and all that can have us melted down and then recreated into an alloy even stronger than our origins we started with. ♥️

The voice that spoke of my weakness has gotten weaker over the years. It’s like that monster under my bed always hiding waiting for me to put down my defenses. Even put through hell I still survive it and later on thrive despite all of it.
