there are lots of "us" who have been down our own dark paths, hurt in some way by the twists and turns of "FATE" . . . as a collective, we have the power to heal ourselves but only when we recognize no healing happens in a vacuum
we need to share stories, share healing, share love
we need other people, need to share our stories with one another
to find ourselves we have to express what's hidden; fearless, ruthless, seeking light in the darkness
there is just no other way
