I did a lotta drugs. That was my best coping mechanism.

Of course, I also share many of the common experiences, but bit no longer feel the need, nor the desire to examine or recall my past. It's shaped me into the person who I am, and I am grateful for it....to a point that I don't lament it, at least. Lol

I'm really enjoying the present and looking towards the future now! To each their own though. I did my fair share of retrospective thinking and I think it can have value.
