4. I couldn't agree more!...

I love music, all kinds of music. I think the right song can do so much to help someone.

As for learning to enjoy life again. The other day I was talking to my mom and she brought one of the people that assaulted me, she asked me his last name, the face came to me instantly, his first name everything about it, but I couldn't remember the last name right away. I thought OMG, there's something wrong with me, why can't I remember his last name, I remember everything else. It came to me about an hour later.

The more I thought about it the more I realized there was nothing wrong with me, I was busy enjoying my life that I had buried that little tidbit. It wasn't a lot, just his last name for about an hour, but it was something, it was healing, it was enjoying life.
