One of the super unfair things about dealing with a traumatic past, and something that isn’t often mentioned, is that dealing with that trauma and facing it down is another traumatic event that you’ll need to heal from. Because it’s more than just re-living that trauma, it’s intimately examining it – and I do mean intimate, because you have to get so close to it, it’s like the emotional equivalent of engaging in full-body contact with it.

If you’ve come out the other side of it, you are a fucking beast. You’ve been through hell, and please don’t let anyone or anything tell you otherwise. You walk with scars and pains every day that the world can’t see. No matter what you feel in the moment, please remember this.

You’re doing it every damn second of every day, and you deserve recognition and fellowship. I see you. You’re doing this. ❤

Holy fuck this is a good post and something I so needed to see…thank you
