I used to say it all the time but I know now that saying that everything happens for a reason is deeply insensitive to someone in the midst of it. it’s kind of like being anti abortion; I can apply that belief to my own life if I so choose, but I can’t advocate that shit for the whole world to follow because who am I to say what’s right for someone else? for me personally, everything that came my way did so for a reason. I can derive a sense of purpose from it, now. I’ve spent enough time dealing with and processing my pain and I’ve had enough tools and support that I can sit here now and say: it brought me somewhere and right now, this is where I’m supposed to be. but I’m not going to tell you that that’s also the case for you. maybe where you are right now, everything is awful. maybe you are still living your trauma. maybe your abuser is still a part of your life. maybe you are suffering from systematic oppression and no amount of yoga and meditation or thoughts and prayers or love and light is ever going to fix that shit. ⁣ ⁣ so I guess what I’m saying is... not everything is the way it’s supposed to be. and until we realize this as fact even when we are trying to help, we are going to be a part of the problem. #yoga #seva #intersectionalfeminism」5月22日 0時01分
