PTSD Healing Thought of the Week: Carpe Diem

In his poem, ‘Carpe Diem’, Billy Collins writes,

Crashing through the iron gates of life
is what it is all about,
I decided as I lay down on the carpet,
locked my hands behind my head,
and considered how unique this day was

Make it your goal to crash through the iron gates of life and begin living again.
 

It is possible to conquer the past and create the future – the first step is choosing to take the journey.
