Brighter Days are Raging

PTSD can often feel like a raging sea, chaotic and unpredictable, crashing against the shores of our minds with relentless waves. It churns emotions and memories, creating storms that seem insurmountable. Yet, amidst this turmoil, beauty can emerge. Just as the ocean gives way to serene moments between waves, trauma can cultivate a deepened sense of empathy, allowing us to connect with others in profound ways. The very struggles we face can lead to an appreciation for the mundane—those simple, everyday joys that serve as anchors in our lives. In the calm after the storm, and even in the depths of chaos, hope and beauty can flourish. You just have to train your eyes to see it.
