At what point can an event be so traumatic that it changes your brain chemistry? Does it make you lose yourself or is there a path back to who you used to be? Or is the lesson that we should not want to be who we are when something so significant happens to us?
I don’t even know where to begin with the story of what happened this past Father’s Day. In my mind it’s somehow even more dramatic and traumatic than how I remember and in another corner I surely must be over-exaggerating the significance of the event.
As I come to understand how I feel about the situation more I’ll likely do revisions on this entry. For now, I know that I literally will not be the same person I was prior to this experience.
