Prompt: What is something you’ve been holding onto that has been difficult to let go of?

“PTSD nightmares of Iraq... sometimes lucid, sometimes feelings of powerlessness. Get to relive moments like... the bed of a truck full of bodies... mostly children. Or the sound of bones under my tires, intentionally putting the body under drivers side so my commander had less risk of being killed by a suicide vest... watching brothers die on video feed and being helpless...
20 years after the memories were formed.“

“Some of us carry heavier burdens than others. Some of us have done unforgivable things. Some of us have tried very hard to make up for things that we know we can never make up for. Some of us have tried to find a place of peace that we will never be allowed to enter. Some of us will forever be the pariah for the poor choices we made.”
