Summary

A Horrifying Experience

Luminita D. Saviuc had a dreadful experience as a child. She confessed to her father that she had stolen some sweets – though she had not done so and was confessing only to shield her siblings. Her father put paper between her toes, doused it with gasoline and set it on fire. She couldn’t walk properly for months.

    giving up the need to impress others and giving up limiting beliefs are the two things that i feel sound familiar to the current situation in my life. for me, it more or less of giving up a rigid mind when it comes to doing things to please others.
