No. No, we're fucking not. We're human. And if we can still get up, and face the world, and have hope, and faith, and risk reaching out to others in spite of it all, we're amazing.
*hugs you so much for this* This just... we never think about it in terms like this, that getting through it and going on with life is sometimes an accomplishment in itself, but it's really true, and it's such a... relief, almost, to frame it that way, not "There's something wrong with me because I still have scars," but "I'm still here, and just the fact that I healed enough to scar is a lot more than some people get." I'm saving this post to read the next time I go into panic or self-blame mode--I'm also very lucky in that it's only happened to me very rarely, but god, it's debilitating when it does.
And yes, please, I would love if you friend me, and hope you don't mind if I do so as well. I have to warn you though... um. I am still deeply in love with Sam and Dean, but I'm pretty in love with the Jonas Brothers now, as well, which is scaring some people. I try to put it all behind cuts!
