Journal entry 1June 10, 1996
War is a terrible thing.
It can hurt in so many ways that I can't even begin to describe.
Then once it is over… the healing can begin and you can deal with the repercussions of what you had to do in order to survive.
Some won't understand for that is their way. They will only see you as what you once were and make you want to act the way you once did.
As much as you try to avoid them, you can't. They're all over the place and you can only tolerate them.
You need to find those who will allow you to change. They are harder to find but they are worth the search.
When you do find them, hold them close and never let them go.
They can be those who you once called enemy.
But once an enemy can become a great friend. Or more.
One step at a time I guess.
Wish me luck.
