The Truth About Resilience, Reflection, Self Love, and Growth You’re never too old to learn life lessons, grow, or reinvent yourself, even if your confidence is shattered from past life trauma. You can learn from it or let it destroy your self esteem. Become who your past self meant for you to be and choose to focus on the lesson rather than just the pain, which allows you to grow.

When you start doing good with that, you’ll live and forget the trauma, it won’t be fully but you’ll remember the lesson that the Lord up above put upon you.

We stayed in touch for a few months following but gradually lost contact.  Quite some time had passed, when one night, I had a dream about the little boy,  Sammy,  who had passed.
