Ms. Pat

Because when you've been traumatized and hurt, a lot of times your brain will lock stuff out.

Right.

You know, to keep you, to allow you to live, I believe.

And I think when it don't lock stuff out, that's how people go crazy.

Yeah.

So a lot of this stuff that happened to me is locked up in my head.

And as I get older and things happen to me or since, my brain will unlock them.

And you start to remember.

And so I call somebody if I got a family member in their thought.

I say, hey, did this happen?

Or tell me what you know about this.

And I let them tell the story to make sure I'm not making up stuff.

Right.

Well, I mean, I'm glad that, you know, you were able to get past that and turn that into, you know, a way that we can all kind of laugh.

Yes.

And, you know, even though it's just some very traumatic, very serious situations.

But like you said, you choose how you want to heal and get over it and move on to live the rest of your life.

I just want people to realize is you can't change the past.

So don't sit there and cry about it.

Yeah.
