Reading part of the post and I knew this quote I got the other day is apt! Let’s finish reading.
Ok finished the rest! I definitely think the quote is apt. People identify with the situation SO much that they can’t fathom doing something else and it becomes their whole world. I’ve seen it myself with family members. They’ve had issues, molested and whatever which are definitely challenges but they choose to drown their entire existence and define themselves by it completely without realizing it’s part of them but not ALL of them and we have to move on and improve ourselves and situations.
I am no saint myself but thankfully have never been homeless or in some crazy scenario like that but I feel for the people that do however I have a hard time doing something besides helping someone with advice or some food or something. I don’t think there’s enough desire and self control for people not to take the money and so drugs with it which is sad. We live in a challenging world that’s for sure!
It's a difficult thing for a lot of people. Choosing to separate yourself from your trauma means that A) you can no longer play victim and blame things on it, and B) you have to actively work on yourself to improve the damage from trauma. And a lot of people don't want to do that -- "But it's hard! 😭"
Why wouldn't you want to come out stronger? Why would anyone choose to remain "weak"? Just boggles my mind. Society isn't able to make an individual a better person. At some point there needs to be accountability...
