"Facing your past is one of the most painful, courageous things you can do and I truly believe it’s the greatest sign of growth." I whole-heartedly agree Patricia, because I am living through that very thing right now, and though the process started a few years ago, it is just that, a process, so thanks to Medium, I think I have finally worked through it; to the point of feeling comfortable enough to talk and write about the past pain. Thank you ever so much for this very thought provoking read :-)
