the power of the unconscious to bring itself into consciousness without our control should never be taken for granted. certain people have a way of bringing this out in others, their mark permanent even if they are long gone. when you encounter people that do this, understand that they are either your greatest ally or worst enemy. its important to know which one because that decision will determine who you become. we must also be aware that we are potentially doing this to others at any point through the actions we take, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. beauty can be found in this, deeper than any other, but so can real evil...

in cases of significant social and emotional trauma, the key to overcoming the pain of those memories is to talk through them entirely with all involved. otherwise you create a self-made image of the situation that is not grounded in actual reality. you then have the potential to bring those traumas back to the surface at any moment. if you are not fully informed you may not understand that you are even doing it or think that you have overcome it through sheer will... worse yet, this opens you up to be manipulated or act as a manipulator of core emotional constructs.
