Yeah, sorry about that... it was a hard write. That life felt a long time ago, up until last September, for better or worse. But yes, it does help to shape my thoughts and remove them from my head. In the light of everything that goes on in the world, my little puddle of trauma is very small - but that doesn't make it less real. Thank you for reading it though - your thoughts are valued greatly on my words.
I'm sorry you had to travel down that road from childhood to manhood. I'm sorry for the scars, the wounds, the blood and tears spilled along the way.
But I'm glad you made lemonade from lemons, diamonds from weathered coal, and love from lack of nurture.
And you gain one other thing, too. You gained a story to tell. To share. So that some others won't feel so alone.
Well done, my friend, well done.
Well that made me cry, like only true friends can x
Much love to you and yours, Brother Steve. Always.
oh my god!
I hope it has helped you in some way to write this down.
that is a hard read and i cant inagine how hard its been to live the life that wrote it.
wishing you peace and strength for 2026
