Thanks for reading. The statement words make the past less significant, and the present more valuable is talking about the role writing has played, and does play in helping to erase the issues (or at least the nightmarish control) that they held over me. That is makes it less significant. I find that blocked emotions (in my case at least) respond to writing. They lessen. This in turn has me living less in the past, and more in the present.

I hope that makes some sense.
