How many times have we said, “Oh, but she has it SO much worse than I do!” ⁠

Someone, somewhere ALWAYS has it worse. That is true. And yes, we should be grateful for the good things. Yes, I know.⁠

BUT.⁠

That does not mean that you are not hurting or suffering; that you don’t have pain or trauma; that you aren’t in a bad situation, relationship or addiction cycle.⁠

Someone may have it worse; but you, my friend, might be in a ton of pain too.⁠

Do NOT explain or downgrade your pain. Speak and bring it into the light–so we can all help each other.⁠

This is ALL hard work. BUT for those who are ready, I am with you!⁠
