Here we’re delving into some slightly more treacherous waters.
The scars of the mind come in so many forms. A huge part of the challenge here is discerning honesty and not causing harm. Physical scars are usually much more cut and dry in their tale. The mental ones will require a bit more vetting, so please don’t take any offense if it doesn’t make it onto the page. Sometimes depending on what you’re sharing it may just boil down to a judgment call. As always, if I get duped or find out there are any ulterior motives that are damaging it will be removed. Please do not make submissions on behalf of others unless they are requesting assistance in submitting.
