We All Have Scars

Scars by Dave Conrey

I'm willing to bet that all of us have childhood trauma, in one form or another. I'm no different, and I've let some of that dictate who I am as a human. 

I spent my young life dutiful to a narcissistic father, and when I finally saw him for who he truly was to me and the rest of the family, I pushed back. The story is ugly, but I have made peace with it in my own ways.

First, I am a father myself, and I work every day to give my son a better environment than my own. Second, I use all that energy and turn it into beautiful things.

We all have scars. These are mine, but they're healing well.
