trauma

I was watching an interview Lex Fridman did with Grimes, and she was saying that it's good that we don't really remember our very early lives - like, before we can walk and talk - because she believes that that part of our lives is really traumatic....we're exposed to all these stimuli and we can't do anything. She mentioned a story called 'I have no mouth but I must scream'. 

I've never really thought about this but I definitely think birth is traumatic, for the child and the mother, and life is more traumatic than we usually let on. 

Birth is like death. You lose your whole world and you're sucked into the unknown.
