I am not a violent person and have not used violence against anyone, not even those who have hurt me deeply.
I chose not to allow myself to become an abuse perp.
I am the type who would come more to harming myself than another person and I feel good about that to some degree.
I have chosen to heal the wounds inside me rather than to run and hide.
I have not used my personal power to harm any living person or thing....
*(except for this one time I broke this drunks nose for saying inappropriate things to my girlfriend.) he had it coming, got 3 warnings, strike, you're out. Did not make me feel good or powerful, tho I did feel justified in my anger. not something I am particularly proud of.
