#generational trauma is a bitch

Generational trauma is very, very real. Even if your parents, grandparents and other older folk in your family don’t acknowledge it. It is real. When you pay attention enough you see how it manifests, and it makes you reevaluate yourself on a deeper level.

That being said, you don’t have to pass that generational trauma down to the younger generations. This doesn’t mean your own kids alone; this includes younger siblings, your siblings children, younger cousins and so on.

It will require you to become more self-aware. It will require you to change your perspective. It will require you to work on your behavior. It will be hard. Change isn’t impossible, though. So change.
