I really do

The trauma that's objectively had the largest impact on my life, though I had no idea until well into adulthood, is one that I want no apology for, nor would it in any way be helpful for my mental health nor physical freedom. Unfortunately, the wounds caused to my neurological pathways are too fundamental to "heal" but learning more about my thought processes and building healthy coping strategies to compensate for unhelpful instincts helps.

The meme is a lovely thought though and I genuinely hope that it applies in a straightforward way to the majority of people.

I have my own trauma, and trauma I may have unintentionally caused. I'm not perfect, so I strive to be better than I was the day before. Really the only way any of us can improve is taking it a day at a time.
And never will
