It made me who I am.

Consider EMDR therapy it has worked for thousands of veterans, and no your pain doesn't make you who you are thats just the lie and bullshit we sell ourselves. Your releasing pain does. Our egos refuse to let go of hurts. It rather would hold on and feel some kind of false strength rather than let go when you feel pain. Meanwhile it isn't strength. It is letting go that makes us strong. It is processing it that makes it strong. It is transforming the hurt and finding deeper levels of understanding that makes us strong.

People would rather say "Let me pack it in an emotional suitcase and forget about it, or let me bury it." You are a process. We are process.

I could sit here and say "I don't care." The fact is that I do, and sometimes love is tough. So, as a person who honors that fact you served. I also honor you as a person. I also honor your soul.

We all self righteously hang on to our pain. This just makes our lives harder on a unimaginable level.

The guilt, pain and hurt we carry around, the more we’ll pour it on the people nearby us and the more crappy we’ll feel, leading to more painful problems and more pain and… and… and… you guessed it, the cycle moves on and on.

There we are. We can insist on reliving, rethinking, and generally drowning in the what-ifs of life and remorse of pain from the past.

It is never the pain. It is the balls to process the pain and turn it around. It takes courage more courage than anything else, and it is facing our inner pains.

We never just "Deal with it." We never just "Pack it in."

Believe me when I say that I care. Even though you don't know me. This is not a matter of me or you being right. This is about facing things and processing them for you to be happy.

That's all I would want for a human being like you. To be happy. Never mind anything else.

We process things differently and others do as well. EMDR therapy has worked with hundreds of veterans. Watch this video. He went through many hours of a fire fight.

Please understand while I have strong feelings on this. That I come from a point of actually caring. Not meant to be hurtful, yet I am direct, and understand the human mind on a deep and profound level.

I won't sit here and wish you the best of luck. I will sit here and wish you the best of happiness. That's all I could want anyways.
