Trauma

You know what’s interesting about a trauma?

It has to catch you by surprise,

and it has to alter your life with so much intensity.

The secret of it is you cannot control it,

you cannot control when it comes,

what it does,

and at some point you cannot control yourself in some of these traumatic situations.

it is like one moment you are someone,

the next you are no one.

some traumas define us entirely,

some we allow to pass without blinking an eye.

But most of the time, a trauma would alter our being.

Something about its surprise captures us.

Some of us are able to grow out of it to build new knowledge, to start new lives.

Others stay caught in the middle, still in shock, still absorbing what happened, not understanding what went wrong.

This is where the strength of the trauma comes from.

From how it changes you,

how it defines you,

how it flips your world,

and everything you know,

like it is your first day to be alive.

And actually, this is where your strength comes from.

How you can stand still,

stay focused,

go through your check-list of what is right and what is wrong,

How long you hang on to what you know,

when you choose to move forward,

What do you take with you?

What do you leave behind?

And where do you go from there.

I guess this is what scares us through a trauma.

The fear of going through all these questions,

the fear of answering them falsely,

and the hope of answering them correctly.

Sometimes in a trauma, all you can do is

pray,

hope,

hold on,

and have faith.

Sometimes,

that’s all you need to pass through a trauma,

along with a great deal of optimism for a brighter future.
