⋆˙⟡ I do not believe trauma can make you stronger, it is all you that is making YOU stronger.
Was it trauma, that made you feel love with all your heart?
Was it trauma, that made you feel you deserve better?
No, it's you. Because of people not meant for you, you were able to see what exactly it is that you need.
Trauma was only the foundation of which you unfortunately stepped on, and it's a place where you are either currently enduring or trying so hard to cope to get away from.
It is you.
Because without you, trauma is nothing.
And one day it will be. You will get to look back, and realize it was YOU that was so much bigger than all that.
And I am sorry you had to endure this.
You are not alone.
