Thank you. Yes, it's to the point. We do all have broken pieces, there must have been a massive gaping hole in my psyche. But broken pieces aren't something readily admitted or spoken about.
I talk about them, because it's important. We all need to be okay with our experiences with our past.

But it would be prudent for us all to think about that.

Making peace with my broken pieces is far better than thinking about the shattered portions of my life.
My mind will surely remember this quote.
