    That’s the only way out of trauma imo. Not soothing, not whining - a pure curiosity of what’s beyond it. How the world feels, how it functions, how I react to things, how others react to the same stimulus.

      I have found that burning down the cause of the trauma so it can’t hurt you anymore is also effective.

      My pure, insatiable curiosity is one of the few reasons I’ve found to keep living. My current connections are another, but in the past I didn’t have as many good ones. I have a raw, unending need to know everything I can about humanity, the universe, and how we can best fit in it. Similarly I need to stay around long enough to find out who was right: the religion of the shepherd or that of the goatherd (the answer might be neither, but I’d like to see)?
