I can TOTALLY relate to this post. I had a similar post-traumatic-stress kind of flashback after the Los Angeles riots. So beautiful the way you lead us through the thought-process of your 15-year-old mind! And I love your honesty, and the conclusions you form (which seem almost tragic, that bucking-up, that silence.) Thank you. charrettes last blog post..<a href="http://divergentpathways.blogspot.com/2008/08/lifetime-vigils.html" rel="nofollow">Lifetime Vigils</a> Oh, wow! I can TOTALLY relate to this post.

I'm just glad you're safe now.

Just to clarify, I'm not plagued with shame and guilt anymore about fear and emotion. This was written from my 15 year old eyes... eyes that felt shame and guilt over pretty much everything. Thanks for the wonderful comments.</p>

I think it bullied its way inside of your cell memories, and changed you. But look at the depth you now possess, and the empathy you now feel, and the power that you now share with others. Don't be hard on yourself for carrying a burden that makes you a gift. You are incredible. I wish you could come over to my house and tell me your whole life story. I would make you incredible cookies. You should never get over something so horrific. I think it bullied its way inside of your cell memories, and changed you.
