I Find That Society Wants Trauma Survivors Who Are Soft. Survivors Who Are Kind. Survivors Who Feel Theyve

I find that society wants trauma survivors who are soft. Survivors who are kind. Survivors who feel they’ve come out better because of their trauma. They want this so they can validate themselves and believe in “everything happens for a reason” because it makes them feel better.

But you don’t exist to make other people feel better. If you came out bitter, and hardened, that’s okay. If you don’t believe it made you stronger, then that’s okay!

My trauma didn’t make me stronger. I’m not “better” for my trauma. I didn’t need my trauma. My trauma just hurt. And I’m not going to pretend otherwise to make others feel comfortable.

Entering a manic episode let's fucking go

Florida is in my thoughts today
