I'm sorry I get mad at you. I hate being mad at you, especially right now. I know you're going through a lot, please stay strong for me. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. I'd lose a lot of me with you.
You want to survive in this universe? Then you are in a no-choice-positon! You have no choice but to be strong, you have no choice but to be hopeful, you have no choice but to be clever and challenger!
Most nights, I fear that I'm not enough. But I refuse to spend my best years rotting in the Sun. So, when hope is lost. And I come undone. I swear to God I'll survive.
Trauma doesn't make people stronger.
It damages their nervous system.
It hijacks their digestive track.
It keeps the person in a constant loop of hypervigilance. To tell someone they are stronger because of trauma is to deny what it has cost them to survive.
