Triggers

I hate how something as small as a 5-word sentence can be a trigger for a tidal wave of negative emotions. I hate that it takes so long to feel okay after something bad has happened to you. I hate that through no fault of your own you have to wait and wait and wait for a time that may never come. Because when something bad happens-- something that's big enough to shake your faith, trust, and worldview-- going back to normal just doesn't come easily. It may never come at all.


But what's the best course of action to take? Do you say to yourself "this bad thing happened and it really messed you up and things are never going to be the same, so just get used to being miserable." Or do you say "this bad thing happened and it really messed you up and things are never going to be the same, but maybe, just maybe, things will get better."


I don't know.
