The nightmares just don’t stop

I woke up from a really bad one a while ago and now I can’t go back to sleep. This has been a recurring pattern: I’ll go for a while without having anymore nightmares, which has me thinking they’ve finally subsided for now, but then they just come right back. I guess one can never truly be free from their traumatic past experiences even if they have moved on from them. But even if the nightmares never stop, I’m ready for them. I’ve survived through it all before and I’ll survive through it again and again if I need to. I am a survivor and even if my past still haunts me, I’ll never let it make me a victim again.

I know I’ve talked about this several times but I’m going to continue to talk about it for as long as I need to.
