I would; Captain.
For one thing I was very abused as a child. But there was one thing that my mother did do for me: she let me play outside with my sister. I tell people that "I grew up with wolves." I am kidding; but actually not. There were wolves; near the hill where my sister and I played. (We were not in danger.)
So, I played outside in nature- my first love. (After my sister, of course.)
Also, I have PTSD. I Adore my cat. I lay my head down on her to relieve stress.
