It took a while, practically 10 years worth, to finally take back my mind, my body and ultimately, my self as a whole complete being. Now I’m not saying I’m perfect by far, what I’m saying is the following. I learned that one can in an essence, “heal” from PTSD. Tho the word heal in and of itself means to be completely rid of something negative, I’ve learned…..
Now and Later
‘Wow so time can fly by!’
Pretty much everyone says that expression and experiences the feeling from time to time. When PTSD occurs inside the brain, a part of the structure is damaged and the time stamp that is normally attached to memories are missing. I experience this weekly tho daily it can seem. My loved ones can very easily get irritated.
‘Mom, that was last week not yesterday.’
‘O,’ I would think…..
The Essence of PTSD : Song, ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries
“Violence causes silence…”
“In your head they are fighting… crying… still fighting… dying.”
“…breaking heart taking over…”

The future holds boundless opportunities…..
With the holidays approaching I’d like to say I’m so thankful for God, my family and friends- for all their love and support. The sum of my essence wouldn’t be as sweet as it is without them.
Still in awe with each passing moment
That you so willingly did an atonement,
