Trauma isn’t the end. Recovery is just the beginning.
People don’t seem to get this: Perception is NOT always reality.
It might seem like I’ve got it all together and I’m sitting on top of the world, but there are days when it’s hard to get out of bed because of chronic illness, chronic hives, thyroid disease, Crohn’s disease, lack of motivation, chronic fatigue, or any number of other things. I’m WAY more put together than I was a decade ago, but that doesn’t mean I’m perfect, or that my life is.
I’m still only human.
