20+ years of hidden trauma and the repercussions. This note is simply to share moments, particularly one, that haunts me even now. I'm finally ready so y'all are the first to hear about this particular trauma. This note is more for me but if you are moved or relate, I will always welcome your feelings. For those who struggle to feel empathy or sympathy, insert yourself or your loved ones. Reality is they might have gone through something similar and are to traumatized to share. This note is dedicated to myself and all the survivors who are terrified of being seen but want to be heard.
