Yep, every person, place and thing changes us in some way.
It is impossible that it be otherwise.
Most people suffering and present day coping skills are products of how they have assimilated and healed from their past.
Call it wisdom or resiliancy…one of the great mysteries how some can overcome great adversity and go on to thrive, and others remain forever stuck in dysfunctional patterns.
I am a very resiliant entity, and also embrace and accept the fact that life is cyclical.
.Periods of stability and periods of transistion,
Some grow older and wiser, some just older. lol
