Trauma Is Not Armour
Trauma does not build character. Your trauma depleted your strength, robbed you of your dreams and opportunities, destroyed your trust in yourself and self-image, and left you with unhealthy coping mechanisms. Stop praising what has hurt and continues to poison you.
Raise the Bar
Your significant other doesn’t hate Valentine’s Day because “it’s a made-up holiday.” They just can’t deviate from the plan to exploit your desperation and groom you to expect and accept less than the bare minimum.
It Comes and Goes in Waves
You don’t have to continue a failing friendship just because you’ve known each other a long time. You don’t have to remain in an unhealthy relationship just because you’ve already put in so many years. That’s not a rule. You didn’t sign a contract to engage in eternal misery.
