Society is more uncomfortable with an angry survivor than with a violent person. Survivors are told to calm down, move on, and stop being bitter while the person who caused harm faces few consequences.

You survived something horrific. You have every right to be angry. But the moment you express that anger, people are uncomfortable. "You need to let it go." "You're too angry." "This bitterness isn't good for you." Meanwhile, the person who caused your trauma? They're living their life consequence-free. And society is fine with that. Because your anger is more threatening to them than the abuse itself.

Your anger is labeled unstable, their violence is treated as complicated. You're expected to heal quietly. To move on gracefully. To forgive without being bitter. But the abuser? They get sympathy. "They had a hard childhood." "They're going through a lot." "People make mistakes." Their violence gets excuses. Your anger gets criticized. And that tells you everything about whose comfort society prioritizes.

People tolerate abuse more easily than they tolerate the reaction to it. They can live with you being hurt. But they can't live with you being angry about it. Because your anger exposes them. It forces them to acknowledge that abuse happened. It makes them uncomfortable. And your comfort was never their priority—theirs was.

Society is more uncomfortable with an angry survivor than with a violent person. Let that sink in. Your anger isn't the problem. Their inability to hold abusers accountable is.

Stay angry if you need to. Your rage is valid. And you don't owe anyone calm while you're still healing from violence.

“Stay neutral” is not kindness.
It’s self-preservation dressed up as maturity.

Neutrality only appears when someone knows the truth
and decides it’s inconvenient.

They heard you.
They understood what was happening.
They saw the damage.

And then they calculated.

Who would be uncomfortable if they believed you?
Who would be exposed?
Who would they have to confront?
What would it cost their image?
Their peace?
Their position in the system?

So they reframed it as “complex.”
They asked you to be calm.
They suggested forgiveness.
They told you not to escalate.
They told you to be the bigger person.

That wasn’t confusion.
That was a choice.

Neutrality always protects the person with more power.
It always sacrifices the one who’s already been harmed.
And it always asks the survivor to absorb more damage
so everyone else can stay comfortable.

If you stopped explaining after that,
if you went quiet,
if you pulled away,

it’s not because you couldn’t articulate it.

It’s because you finally understood
they were never going to choose you.

Hope is a beautiful thing.
Always hope for the best.
Never let the light of hope go.
Keep hope burning forever in your heart.

Think about a soldier on a battlefield.

While the danger is constant, they don’t collapse.
They can’t.

They stay alert.
They stay functional.
They follow orders.
They keep moving — not because they’re okay, but because stopping would get them killed.

Fear becomes fuel.
Adrenaline becomes structure.
Survival becomes routine.

Now imagine that soldier finally leaving the battlefield.
Going home.
Laying down their gear.
Closing the door.

That’s when the shaking starts.
That’s when the exhaustion hits.
That’s when the memories surface.
That’s when the body finally says, “I couldn’t feel this before — but I can now.”

Nothing new happened.
The danger didn’t increase.
The trauma didn’t suddenly appear.

Safety did.

And your nervous system responded exactly the same way.

For years, you lived in psychological threat.
Emotional volatility.
Unpredictability.
Walking on eggshells.
Being needed, blamed, monitored, or minimised.

You stayed composed because you had to.
You stayed sharp because collapse wasn’t an option.
You stayed functional because dysfunction wasn’t allowed.

Your body learned:
We survive first. We feel later.

So when you finally got distance.
When you finally left.
When the chaos quieted.
When no one was actively attacking you anymore —

your system stood down.

And everything you didn’t have permission to feel before
came rushing in.

The grief.
The rage.
The exhaustion.
The disorientation.
The identity loss.

This is the part no one prepares you for:
Healing feels like falling apart because survival was holding you together.

You didn’t regress.
You didn’t “get worse.”
You didn’t lose your resilience.

You stopped being under fire.

And your body finally had room to process what it lived through.

That’s why rest feels heavy.
That’s why motivation disappears.
That’s why you question who you even are now.
That’s why simple tasks feel overwhelming.

Your nervous system isn’t malfunctioning.
It’s recalibrating.

The version of you who held it all together
was built for war.
The version emerging now
is learning how to live without one.

And that transition is brutal —
because there’s no applause for it.
No ceremony.
No language that says,
“This collapse makes sense.”

But it does.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not broken.
You’re not failing at healing.

You’re coming home from a battlefield
your body never forgot —
even when your mind tried to.

And that kind of collapse
isn’t weakness.

It’s the cost of surviving something
that required you to stay standing
long after it was safe to sit down.

The more you care about yourself, the less nonsense you will tolerate. Some nonsense is good nonsense. You decide for yourself.
