The Absent Hero
Singapore, 2023 Through traumawork, I have uncovered the side of me where the fear of failure still exists. I am afraid of being a burden to the people around me, including my loved ones. While I am willing to give my being to them, I am also afraid of causing harm to them. As such, I give away my personal power and responsibility to other people, just so I am not at fault. This ultimately results to the harm I have caused both to myself and my loved ones. The Absent Hero becomes an avenue for me to look at my personal psyche as it is, embody it, accept it, make sense out of it and eventually, learn from it.
