i would be a very different person if i were not deeply traumatized, denying that is denying reality

@ginnyfromtheblock You are " person" . Life. Right now. We choose what we hang on to.

@Trippy i absolutely do not choose to have PTSD

@ginnyfromtheblock We don't "choose" our sorrows or our happiness, its all a gift, lesson, or simply grist for the mill.

Personal "choice" in life comes from the Enlightenment, around the eighteenth century. Not so instinctive at all to see reality that way,

but we sure make a fetish of it today.

@ginnyfromtheblock Nor did I ever choose to have a cold.

@Trippy right, i’m sick. i’m doing my best to not be but it’s still reality.

@ginnyfromtheblock Then accept it as if you'd chosen it. Adapt. Live today.
