‘Like’ is clearly not the most appropriate response here, but serves to acknowledge the reading of your piece, and that, as so often, it struck a chord. Strange how we struggle to properly recall certain times in our lives, particularly when it feel important to get to grips with them. It probably has something to do with the brain’s way of shielding us from the pain following trauma, the pain that hits us afterwards when we try to make sense of it.
Thanks Pete, and for reading as ever. Oddly enough in the last year I've really begun to feel that time is the past in a way it hadn't before. 'Live long enough to forget your own trauma' might be a motto of sorts!

Or something.
Thanks for putting it out there.
