I was watching a TV show yesterday where the question was posed

If you could travel back in time, and re-experience a moment of your life, what moment would you choose.

Not change the moment, just live through it again, enjoy it again, what moment if your life was so good you would travel through time to recapture it.

And I just love that question, it’s such a positive spin on time travel questions. As someone who has stressed a lot about whether I would try to change things, and risk changing who I am and my life as I know it, it was so blissful to think about the moments I might want to relive.

  • Sitting in the sun when I was little, enjoying the hot feeling of oavement on my feet
  • Eating ice cream before I understood what calories were
  • My dad carrying me into the house when I pretended I fell asleep in the car, feeling safe in his arms.
  • Last moments with loved ones
  • Sunny days at the beach
  • Christmas mornings

Not all memories are bad, think hard, you have a good moment you could go back to. Hold on to that, remember that, enjoy that moment.

I feel like so much of trauma recovery for adults who’ve been traumatized is “you are not the only one who feels this way, this is normal.”

But for adults who were traumatized as children, there is an important experience of learning that it is in fact, not normal. It’s good to not feel alone, to find people who get it and to not feel crazy, but the process of going through who you are and picking out the things you had accepted as normal that are definitely not is so important.

I’ll never forget the moment that I realized people have happy dreams, like frequently. Or the day I realized that most people sleep through the night like almost all of the time. Those were really sad moments, but they were really important too, because they made me understand that I am not crazy. Something bad happened, and it changed me.

It’s okay to be different, it’s okay if the trauma changed you, but if you are running a race with a broken legand beating yourself up because you aren’t as fast are the other runners something needs to change. Realizing you are different is the first step to figuring out how to heal

what my parents told me: you can do anything if you set your mind to it

what I wish my parents had told me: sometimes you will fail, and it will be scary and it will suck, but you will probably not die

I would also have appreciated: the fact that you can do something if you try very, very hard, does not actually obligate you to spend your life putting forth maximum effort to achieve it. It is okay to not be 1000% driven by life-consuming ambition and instead be satisfied with something less difficult.
