I don’t know many who can analyze the intersection of human nature, the current culture and their past trauma, and effectively (without drama or affectation) communicate the take aways in writing. As if that weren’t enough, you seamlessly weave in insights about the value of true friendship. I really appreciate your perspectives and your writing style.

Kickass. I know that healing always feels weird because people get so accustomed to not being well. Reacting to events differently will feel totally weird at first. But the more you notice you're healing and not reacting the way you used to, the better it gets. You'll start to become used to reacting in a more normal (healed) fashion.

But, of course, that won't stop other people who are stuck in victim mode from thinking you taking personal responsibility was somehow wrong. We just got to not care what those sorts of people think.
