“Trauma is hell on earth. Trauma resolved is a gift from the gods.”

“Healing hurts. If you break your leg, there is no stage in the healing process when your leg feels better than it does after it has healed. There is pain and itching and loss of strength. From the moment your leg is broken, it continues to feel bad … until, gradually, it starts to feel less bad. It’s appropriate that it hurts.”
“I keep moving ahead, as always, knowing deep down inside that I am a good person and that I am worthy of a good life.”
