Ya, we can’t be comfortable all the time. Life becomes a cut out copy, with little meaning or creativity. A watered down version of humanity. There is so much beauty here that the few shitty experiences become negligible.

yes. its weird bc like. so i was trafficked for a bit &. the experience made me kinder and ultimately i think a better person, albeit a very traumatized one for a long while. would i go through it again on purpose? absolutely not. would i give back the fierce kindness it woke in me? absolutely not
life is inherently traumatic tbqh, no avoiding it if youre living life at all
Yes, more for some than others. I know what people are capable of, and I mean all people, because we all have dark parts and shadows. It’s given me perspective and enabled me to see in others what I see in myself. I wouldn’t change it either.
he made me kill a kitten. i cant unknow what that is like. it wasnt my fault, but it is now my Knowledge. the best i think i can do with that is to actively be as kind as i can. ive seen the darkness & void that resides in people, in all of us, ultimately, and it makes me want to be a light
we are all of us capable of the greatest depths of cruelty just as we are of the greatest heights of kindness
