surrender is good. that is how I grow. if you read any of my other posts you
will know that it took me many years to realize that all I have to do is
surrender, to let go.

I seriously don't think I repressed anything. I feel I reached a point where I

Regardless of how wise or advanced or any state we may write about here, we can
always learn. Kahlil (see what you did!) aptly says:
