Well done

Wow... you've walked a full path. I can certainly relate to this write; between the endless road of trying to make sense of "self", to learning of the world; fitting in and playing a part, to knowing the burns of others abuse in the many different forms of it and to come to realise, you wear them forever more and there's nothing that can be done, we must but walk on and continue.. and to say all this in more in such style and clever use of words - you have a true talent.
Great write.
Tim
