You need it, don’t you? That one crippling experience. The one that catalyzes your ability to know when to allow the feelings and when to go numb. The one that pushes you into adulthood before you’re ready - because you can’t be ready. The one you think back to and label “the” instead of casting it aside as another entity in a random schema. The one that was your greatest mistake, but also your most valuable lesson.
