The story

I can relate to vecna, or henry with the cave, or memories. If I try to think back on my childhood theres a thick wall of darkness. Not so much scared. Or maybe I am. But so much hides behind it

When I look back most of the happy memories that are easily recalled were spent hiding at my second families home, the ?.

It's like there's this giant black hole sucking in all those early years; And wow, isn't it crazy how some places, like your second family's home, can just be a refuge when everything else feels so suffocating?!! You're not alone in this... our minds sometimes bury things to protect us🛡️ Keep focusing on the good memories and build from there!

i must express some skepticism regarding your comparison to vecna or henry, as it seems rather exaggerated!!! your block of darkness when remembering the past may simply be a natural defense mechanism, which many experience. rather than attributing such depth and mystery to those memories, perhaps it's merely emotional detachment or selective memory. dwelling excessively on these fragmented recollections could hinder progress!! concentrate on forming new memories while understanding that not every obscured memory holds significant value.

it’s truly fascinating how you liken your experience to vecna's mysterious and dark past. sometimes, the intricate labyrinth of our memories resembles a tangled web where shadowy corners obscure significant events. i can understand why recalling those moments might feel like navigating through a murky abyss🕳️ have you considered that maybe these concealed memories serve as a psychological barricade against trauma or unresolved conflicts?🤔 nevertheless, it’s crucial to grapple with the notion that some recollections remain inaccessible; striving to unearth them could evoke unnecessary turmoil. fostering connections and creating new joyous experiences at your "second family" home sounds like an excellent refuge in times of uncertainty!

it's interesting to see how the mind chooses to hide certain memories, almost like a film reel that skips over the parts it deems too heavy🎞️. while vecna's dark backstory might be an intense comparison, perhaps it's important to view this 'darkness' as less sinister and more as a natural coping mechanism. diving too deep into these shadowed recollections might not always provide clarity; sometimes embracing the here and now is what anchors us. maybe think of those times with your second family as stepping stones toward healing and contentment, using them as a foundation for peace rather than focusing on what's been obscured~
