I've seen in movies, I've seen among my friends. Most people believe they've had a difficult childhood. Some keep it a secret, so no one would use it to hurt them. Some share it with the intent to earn sympathy and some just share it because they don't see the point in trying hard to maintain it a secret. And I've always wondered why our own past should be our enemy.
Trauma or not, our past has what made us what we are now. No one comes out weaker after walking through a difficult time in life. Any terrible thing that has happened to us, is in fact, our strength, and we cannot let anyone else think they can use it as a weapon against us. Nor it should be something that will earn us sympathy. When we have fought and won something, that should only earn us respect, though that should just be an unconscious by-product.
Our fights and victories, they have already served their purpose, they have made us better. Now, they do not have the power to hurt us, neither can they earn us the sympathy of others.
Only when we stop giving power to past will we start living in the present.
