“I wasn’t always so open to love. You would shiver if I told you what it took to get here; how many nights I fell asleep to the sweet song of anger and let my heart turn a few shades darker. But I’ll let you in on a secret that took me years to learn: it doesn’t last. You will spend your life so much more beautifully in love with every stranger. And before you worry about what it means to be vulnerable, let it be. Be vulnerable. This world is so much better for it. We cannot build a sanctuary on hate.”

— Schuyler Peck, On How to Spend This Life

You know something I hate and wish got acknowledged more? The anger and low tolerance I get from depression and trauma triggering.

I wish the link between anger issues and ptsd was talked about more. Because seriously… When I feel low, I take shit so personally and feel annoyed so easily.

I just get filled with frustration for everything and snap really easily.

The thing is too… Anger is also often a sign of trauma. It’s not always being all shaky and fragile, though I get like that sometimes too. But for me it’s mostly anger and despair.

i promise that i am just as sick and tired of it as you are

“I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me.”
