Trauma Bonds

Just as painful as the name sounds, trauma bonds are are those unpleasant memories that you create and hoard in your head, until the end of time.

These people and events are played on loop in your head and it slowly and steadily chips away at your confidence and peace of mind. Trauma bonds appear in the form of vivid dreams or a sudden memory recall. And in those moments, it's totally normal to feel down and out. 

The important thing is to allow that feeling to pass, accept the situation as it is and keep moving forward. 

I'm a strong believer of karma. I believe that what you put out into the world, both good and bad, will come back to haunt you. It can be anger, jealousy, hatred, love, a sense of competition, protectiveness, these thoughts and feelings that you project onto another person will come back to you with full force. 

So when you dream that sweet, vivid dream at 4.30 in the morning, accept the harsh reality of it not being true. Allow yourself to feel like shit for a good hour or two and then get on with your day. 

While the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is merely an urban legend, you can always create your pots of gold in tiny pockets. Hold onto those pockets, stop brooding like a Vampire and get on with your life. Stat!
