@feminworth: Harper Stern’s message challenges one of the most common phrases people hear after going through something painful: “Your trauma made you stronger.” But the truth is often more complicated. Trauma doesn’t always make you stronger. Sometimes it leaves you anxious. Sometimes it steals your confidence. Sometimes it changes the way you trust, love, or see yourself. And none of that is your fault. What makes Harper’s perspective so powerful is that she separates what happened to her from who she chooses to become. She isn’t defined by her pain. She’s defined by what she does despite it. What Harper represents, and why she belongs in this space, is someone who reminds us that healing isn’t about pretending your trauma made you stronger overnight. It’s about giving yourself permission to rebuild. To heal. And to create a life that’s no longer controlled by what happened to you. Her message reflects a deeper truth: you are not responsible for what happened to you but you are allowed to become more than it.

only people with 0 pain experience would think that "trauma makes you stronger" is a flex to be proud of. none of us would have chosen to go through all that shit again if we ever had the chance to choose

it traumatized me alright, and it also made me numb af 👀 physically and emotionally The fact that 2 people had questioned me "why would you be traumatized" or "how could u get traumatized by that" made me questions their morales 👀

Trauma CAN make a person stronger/more resilient especially if it’s childhood trauma. Acting shit because of trauma IS a choice!
