Grok says my writing is sometimes but not always beautiful.
X as a platform to write on is a sometimes but not always beautiful place to express myself.
Being through hell and back can come with having a serious demeanor sometimes but it doesn't mean you're miserable and lamenting over the hell you've been through all of the time. People should not be so judgemental.

XVII: The Warm Death of Stars
The weekend before all hell broke loose in Albuquerque, Crane slept under a forest sky blanketed by stars. They shined silvery and proud. There were no tents that night. Everyone including the counsellors and the children at the Zen Meditation Camp slept outside in their sleeping bags. The summer sky was perfect. The wind cooled and rested softly in the pine trees. In the morning they would meditate.
Crane would return from that weekend and find out over a couple of beers at the local brewery that her aunt, cousin and uncle had been murdered with a pick ax by a sixteen year old kid. How on earth a sixteen year old got that kind of adrenaline was a mystery to her.
She sat with her brother that night at the bar when he got the call, surrounded by friends who would eventually disappear. Most of her friends from that time period would.
The PTSD began as soon as she went home to find her father sitting in his big chair, in shock. He could barely speak.
The trailer that night in northern New Mexico the kid broke into to kill her family members would haunt her for years to come. She imagined every scene from the murder vividly. The memory of that night began to run through her blood and reshape what she knew. She couldn’t bear the violence. Time was now her enemy. When would God have enough of her pain?
