Let’s stop glorifying trauma 🛑 ✋
“That trauma made you who you are today”
-Well, no actually the choices I made due to the trauma I experienced with no choice is what made me who I am. I made me who I am today. That trauma makes who I am today struggle so much with going through life in a normal and functional way. 🙃
“Look at who you are now. That trauma made you stronger.”
- Am I actually that strong? or am I just detached ? 🤔 and incapable of forming meaningful and lasting connection from the lack of not being able to feel certain emotions that I wish I could feel?
“If that never happened, then you wouldn’t be here”
-and I’d choose to go back and reverse what happened rather than be here and deal with the trauma I don’t even know how to fix.
So let’s shushhhhh 🤫 about the trauma making you a better person. It didn’t, you did that all on your own.
