" It's a curse to have traumas imprinted in our wiring, to accept that what we fear and grieve and impale ourselves upon from day to day defines the way we translate the chemistry of emotions into a fixed identity wired for suffering.
It's also a marvelous asset, our malleability. When the imprinting experience is loving, exciting, rich and worthy of our more expansive nature, we align pleasurably with harmony and bliss.
But let's face it, we're humans.
Disasters entertain our brains far more than comforts, ease and joy ever will.
No one straps into the ride for the smoothness of it all going well. "
― Laurie Perez , The Look of Amie Martine (The Amie Series, #1)
