RE: SEC17 WK:#1: Forgiveness unites family [Carrying the Torch]
That is a strong text! You have become who you are - because of your experiences. Despite your experiences.
Perhaps they help you not to take the seemingly easy route and answer strictly predetermined question catalogues. Maybe they make you a self-confident author who doesn't sacrifice his excellent texts in order to be accepted by XYZ. Perhaps they will make you patient and determined enough to take the right path ;-))
Part of me takes this as a polite way of you saying I'm bending the rules a lot, which is fair. As the boss has said, I still need to learn the ropes. Not the first boss to mention that either, so story of my life. Besides having a "Schalk im Nacken" I'm also a bit of an asshole. My mom would agree, but I won't show this to her :-)
In terms of my experiences I figure it's not as bad as it sounds, or maybe it's worse. I don't know. It's weird how the perception of your experiences changes, once you physically write them down. Things you didn't really mind suddenly start looking incredibly bizzare and some of the things you considered incredibly important start looking silly. I mean, we're all trapped in our own sort of normalcy bias, or maybe swing the other way thinking we're more unusual than we actually are.
There's this older shopkeeper woman, who always seemed like one of those slightly annoying "normal" types. Quick to anger, hard to be around. Then I've learned she's actually some kind of survivor employing other survivors, so this whole idea of normalcy kinda went up in smoke. You never know and I guess as a rule of thumb it's fair to say most people have had "interesting" experiences. They just don't talk about it, so maybe it helps if someone does.
To cut this short: To me as a wannabe it seems like one's capacity to be honest, or at least to come from a real place, probably should be your bread and butter. Don't know much, but I'm kinda figuring out who I am at the moment and maybe I'm even leaning into it a little ;-)
Thanks everybody btw. if I don't reply to everything idividually it's probably because I ran out of steem power, having blown it on late night edits and such. I'm still trying to learn the system.
It's fine if you do not answer on everything. Without SP you van still read.
I always talk about my childhood never made a mystery about it. In each post you find me or whatever it is back. Unfortunatrly, most posts can't be found back because of the tags (fon't work)./
I wrote a kids diary and my latest mentiin is, if I read it well, seen for the text of a song.

Well, this morning I made a song out of it 😁
Take good care of yourself. Not everyone had a tough childhood but some of us had and are the birds of a feather flocking together.
I need to save a bit more but will host a contest for storywriters with the tooic 'parents'. One of the rules will be you have to make me laugh. Irony, black humour, no clinic clown jokes.
Take care and enjoy the weekend!
The issue is once I start talking I tend to not stop. I mean like cataclysmic levels of pontification and oversharing. I've gotten in fights over it with a choirs of people basically chanting SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP at me in unison.
A contest about parents would be interesting, I'd be up for it! I also enjoy making people laugh more than making them sad, I think. My sense of humor is debatable tho :-)
Have nice weekend as well. Currently reading your thing.
