A poem
Trauma teaches you
to adjust
to tolerate
to survive
to make a home
inside what is breaking you.
As if endurance were the goal…
Really?
Just leave.

Until my next post…
Be salty, stay lit.

Leaving trauma in the dust sounds like a good plan. I’ve often daydreamed of moving to the isolated island of Saint Helena. It’s literally 1700 nautical miles from anywhere. It’s too bad I’d be packing my emotions along with me. I get it, brother, and my trauma meter is likely lower than yours. 🙏blessings.
