The Empire took my parents from me. I kept myself closed off and thought only about surviving and protecting myself, for years, until my first master and the rest of my new family took me in.
Letting them in, being vulnerable - they showed me the way, but I had to choose it. I had to choose it again after Malachor, rather than hold onto pain and keep doing the sort of things I'd done to stave off more pain. I could have clung to the Dark.
And again when my master died. When I was torn away from my new family by circumstance. And again when - when...I was taken from my brother by choice, and other fellow Jedi, other friends, the babies I was helping to raise, to be brought here.
My losses are part of me, but they don't make me better or worse than anyone else.
