#it is not a rebellion to cause yourself hadm

Idk if anyone needs to hear this but it is something I needed drilled into me when I was younger and 90% of the reason I am posting it is typing makes it more real but

Suffering does not make you a better person

You are a better person because of yourself

No anything that hurt you

Your trauma did not make you kind

You

Make yourself kind despite your trauma

Your trauma did not make you more creative, it did not make you a good person, it did not make you smart, it did not make you caring, it did not make you anything that benefits you

The only thing your trauma did was traumatized you

You forged yourself to be the self that survived and you are the one responsible for all of the good qualities that that person has

So much of my life people try to paint the picture of people gaining traits from suffering as if suffering is a beautiful thing that will afflict you and then leave you improved

Suffering is not beautiful it is just suffering

You don't need to cause yourself any more hurt than you already have by thinking you should be great full for things that harm you, you already have a "unique perspective" suffering only makes you suffer it doesn't get any prettier than that
