"Everyone knows about trauma, either through experience or just purely by the definition. No one talks about the after. The calm that feels edgy. The noises your now programmed to hear, whether you want to or not. No one talks about the peace that feels like boredom. No one talks about the new triggers that will appear as your life changes and when you least expect them to. Trauma is well, traumatic. But the aftermath? That’s the hardest part yet."
