HI Trae nice to meet you - yes it makes perfect sense - life is big and children are big and then pain comes an it all get small and scared and stops growing - the body grows up but the child inside stays there -

yes adulkts need to be more like kids and live and enjoy and laugh and smell flowers and dance in the rain like kids do cos its all so wonderful ....

they say if you dont decide what to do with your life one day you wake up adn see youve already done it.....

you make sense

hard work and going through the pai and growing cna heal the wounds - scars remain but they can fade in time to thin lines that just remind us of what was ....

dont let the past steal your future

you are very brave Trae - i wish we were as brave as you

I hope hugs are ok
