The impact of trauma knows no numerical threshold for the behaviors in which it manifests. If your boat had a leak when it went into storage, when you take it out, it still needs repair before you can sail. Otherwise you sink. We need reform that heals.

People ask me how I’m able to continually get back on my feet after failure. I tell them that trying to hurt me by bringing up my past is like robbing my old apartment. I don’t live there anymore. That ain’t my stuff. 🤷🏾‍♂️ #LetHatersHate
