all i see is trauma left and right, everywhere. is it a stretch to say trauma is overrated as fuck? i'm very confident that i'd live a much happier and more fulfilling life if i had never been able to process trauma.
there are also what i like to call "mini-traumas." most people get them. they're basically just little negative memories that stick to you and still influence you, but not severely enough to be classified as PTSD. this primitive, overprotective trauma mechanism is worthless nowadays and too risky in developing harmful behavior.
mother nature wants you to be hypervigilant because all it cares about is for you to pass down your genes and secure you and your offspring's lives out of instinct. it doesn't care about your personal happiness, only the end result so that genes get passed down. we are slaves to our biological instincts, emotionally enslaved from the moment we were born.
as a result, i'd imagine there was little incentive for us to ever evolve past our outdated brain structure until recently. now that we're more technologically capable than ever, this is the time for our brains to evolve. but it's not going to happen as quickly as we'd like unless we force it.
look, the feelings behind trauma can be useful, but their intensity needs to be tuned all the way down. that's all.
i can't wait to be fearless, life is too short to live in fear. it's laughable, but I can't laugh forever…
