“We could all spend a lifetime unraveling the knots of our childhood, but at some point you realize the knots are no longer yours. They belong to your pa rents, and their parents before them. The legacy is long and complicated, the damage passed on through generations, until one day someone finally stops and says: ‘this story does not belong to me.’ Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. The moment that you accept YOUR story, so many answers become apparent.”
