Trauma does not make you stronger, it traumatises you. Period.
People are so used to say “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”
My take is what about the trauma it leaves behind? What about the struggle? What about that back and forth fighting to get where you want to be? The endless nights working and the struggling trying to understand why, what and how?
That leaves us being hyper independant – meaning if I can do it myself, I dont need nobody else. Well we do need people in our lives to make life seem a little bit simpler. To sooth that harshness we endured chasing after what we want. We need second opinion of people close to us. Yes guidance. We need people behind our backs, rooting for us and encouraging the work we’re doing, so that we may get to share and enjoy the harvest of our hardwork knowing we had people there rooting for us.
This is the type of questions we need to ask after dealing with difficult situations and evaluate the people we keep in our circle.
Comment what or who keeps you going when times are dark?
