Hi, Bloodlord here for a review!
Thank you so much for sharing this.
I like how you take your experiences one step further in this piece. You not only remember your experience, but you also take the time to not simply be angry or resentful so that you can reflect on and accept your past. When people have gone through a hard past, they are often prone to running from it, and you were very courageous to face and accept your past in this piece. I think you said this really well with,
"I think that reflections can help you better understand yourself. I think that hiding from yourself can never truly help you, since you will eventually be chased down - you know yourself best."
I like how you describe acceptance as a process rather than an instantaneous revelation - this piece seems like a necessary and helpful part of this process.
I admire your motivation and balanced acceptance. You know yourself, what you possess, and your experiences. You accept both he bad and the good as part of your past, present, and future, and you are willing to move forward.
I can really relate to your piece, as someone who has witnessed / experienced violence as well, so this was very inspiring.
Thank you, and I look forward to reading more of your work.
