I Am Losing Myself

Health is not a virtue and illness is not a character flaw or a moral failing. People who are healthy aren’t healthy because they did everything right. People who are sick aren’t sick because they did something wrong. Illness, both mental and physical, can hit literally anyone at any time. Good people aren’t exempt from suffering, so let’s kill the idea that if someone’s sick, it must be because they’re doing something wrong. That’s not how it works. The world isn’t fair like that.

‘Trigun’

Trauma didn't make me nice, I consciously made me nice because I don't want anyone else to suffer like I did. Trauma didn't make me strong, I made me strong. Don't you dare ever tell me my trauma made me anything but scared, broken, and confused. Don't give credit to the abusers for me being a good person. They didn't make me good, I made myself good.

“Sometimes suffering is just suffering. It doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t build character. It only hurts.”
