It is so easy to lose yourself and your vision chasing perfection.
If you continue to delay because it needs to look a certain way or sound a certain way, how many people will miss the message because you were stuck on the messenger?
Don't let your ego get in the way and keep you stuck.

Nobody else gets a vote on whether something "should" be a trigger for us. Hell, even WE don't get a vote on that.
If something triggers us, it triggers us-- & the decision we DO get is whether we're going to meet that trigger w/ realism & compassion, or let it kick our ass.

Realistic trauma recovery starts by just noticing, without shame or judgment (that part's important), how often we reflexively try to cram ourselves into an identity that doesn't fit us just because someone else expects or desires us to "be" that person.

Yes, disabled people deserve nice things too.
They deserve hobbies, social lies, things that bring a bit of joy to life.
Maybe the use money they’ve earned through employment to buy it.
Maybe they spend their benefits on it.
Either way, it’s their money and their right.
