I have normalized so many things in my life and posts like this are always a great wake-up call.

My first thought reading your perceptive post, is how do people compare if they are normalising alarming outcomes if they were born into alarming outcomes, that they are familiar with it from birth?

I think the body signals even if you were born in that kind of surroundings.

We accept that which we think we deserve. Thanks for calling awareness to this slippery slope. Cheers to watching for experiences that set off our own alarms, and to working on taking action instead of enduring.

Thank you for your pictures of David. Many years ago I had also had the opportunity to see it and spent numerous hours as well absorbing the beauty and awe of what we beings are truly capable of. I left feeling raw!!
