# My First Experience with Conflict ### Background - I don't know the date when I wrote this note. However, Google said it was 2016.03.28. --- All of us have been dealing with conflict since the day we were born Do you recall that day? Close your eyes and let me take you on a journey. It all started one day when …. I was floating free in my comfortable, safe, warm home. Then the next thing I know, I’m not floating anymore.  Everything else seems okay, but my water home is gone and my arms and legs seem so heavy. Then all of a sudden, something like an anaconda has a hold of me.  I feel like I am going to be crushed. It feels like my home is collapsing around me.  I am being pushed out of my home. This anaconda won’t let go.  It goes on for hours. Somehow, I escaped from the anaconda, but when he let go, he dumped me in a place with lots of bright lights.  I can’t see anything because they are too bright. I am so cold. I want to go back to my warm, comfortable, safe home.
