Do you know what people don’t talk about enough when it comes to trauma? The loss of memory victims experience. I have my issues with repressed memory and when I realized I had this problem, I believed it to be a blessing.

I am doing this old school, putting pen to paper. Like 13 years ago when I started writing this mess down, learned that violence can inspire creativity. On the floor, the bed dragged to the door, mommy told me not to make much noise because dad was convinced he was alone. In case he heard […]
