here’s to the people who’s trauma did not give them thick skin. the ones who became more sensitive and insecure, who cry more easily, who get overwhelmed at small things. i’m so tired of the narrative that trauma makes you tough and untouchable. we’re survivors, not superheroes.
inside every trauma survivor is a very scared, lonely, angry inner child/person. i’m giving yours a big hug right now. what happened was fucked up, but it wasn’t your fault. there is so much good waiting for you. i’m proud of you for staying with us for it, even when it’s hard.
here’s a list of fantastic mantras written by those in recovery. number 21 is my favorite. if the tweets above brought up some heavy emotions, this link is worth checking out
