Some of the best human beings I know have been through so much at the hands of others, and they still love deeply, they still care.

Agreeing to things just to keep the peace is actually a trauma response. When you do this you’re disrespecting your boundaries. No more making yourself uncomfortable for others to feel comfortable. You have control now. You run your life. Take up space and use your voice.

When trauma has shaped you, try not to confuse who you had to become with who you can be.

Even if we disagree about everything we can still be kind to each other.

Pick your battles. Nope. That’s too many battles. Put some battles back. Pick fewer battles.

If you avoid conflict to keep the peace you start a war inside yourself.
