Battle silence

 I got inspired by Taylor Swift and her explanation of her song epiphany. In a Disney+ special (Folklore: The long pond studio session) she talks about this song. She mentions her grandfather fought in the second world war and that he was a participant in the fight over guadalcanal. It was probably the biggest fight he was in but never talked about it. I realised that refusing to talk about the biggest battles is something we all do. Sure not everyone has gone to war but everyone sooner or later has some sort of battle to fight. A battle that you will survive but never want to speak about.
