The ley lines of trauma

Trauma is like a ley line that runs through your life that you can never out walk, never forget, lies there subtly until you unsuspectingly trip over it and you fall down on your face.

Sometimes I wish I could obliterate the memories of trauma. Although these days I can sit there and remember without full blown pain and emotional distress I still get uncomfortable from the thoughts of trauma inflicted upon me. What I went through was disturbing and I don’t share it with anyone but sometimes I wish I could share these things to let them go or not carry such heavy stuff around in my mind or heart. I know everyone deals with their own demons but how do you understand another person when they have a sadness that etches away at the happiness that can be experienced because those ley lines of trauma are always trying to scare or overwhelm them.

Not only are ley lines subtle and mysterious but they hold a significance of historical landmarks of each life. We each are molded by our experiences and that’s what we each have to remember about things in the past. Reflecting on what it would be like to erase the trauma of our life, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind really lets you question would you give it all up to have a spotless memory base? Our experiences do change who we are and sometimes in the remembrance you understand yourself better. Who you are what you are capable of handling and how you can overcome. So when those ley lines come to trip you remember if you just breathe, let it be, and not freak out about the memory it will subside it’s power over you and you will have power over it.
