my therapist commented recently that I was very resilient, which is true, but always makes me sad. I would rather live a life that required less resiliency.
a black person on here tweeted something once about how it is a mistake to see resiliency as something to be proud of, that being able to withstand more suffering & hardship should be a condemnation of our world instead of a compliment to an individual. I think about it often.
the fact that I survived my hardships while another person did not survive theirs does not make me better or stronger than them. it is not a compliment. it is a condemnation of the world we live in, that asks so many of us to endure so much.
most days, resiliency feels like a burden.
