Roberto, you might as well add me to the list. Want to know the same thing Santi wants to know.
Really like your prose memories. Have to try to do something like that myself. A lot of things happen in any life worth writing about.
PS: If you don\'t want the whole story out in the open, you can always write to Santi and me on our mail box. Send it to one and copy it to the other one.

Very brave write, but it is what writing can do, in may ways it can release the demons in our minds so that we can move on in our lives.

Traumatic Childhood Memory (Prose Poem)
MendedFences27 said:
Such things can be remembered, and who knows maybe they should be, but such things are not who you now are. You have managed to survive and build a life of your own. It is today and tomorrow that you should cherish and devote all your thoughts to, only remembering when you choose to do so. Enjoy your life, live with love in your heart, and cope as best you can. The past is not you. You are R Rodriguez. God Bless. - Phil A.

Very good but so traumatic. I hope you found it cathartic writing about your past. There are so many of us that have deep traumas and maybe you writing this will help others share theirs. Thanks for sharing this deeply personal write!

The tone is despair, but also of strength. There\'s a battle inside, yet you challenge it and fight. Expressive and sincere. Nice piece 😊
