Trauma is the spice of life
It’s what makes the mundane enjoyable
No matter how horrible
It’s better being here than there
A life without a little fear isn’t worth living
Some trauma makes you more giving
Others leave you in a shell that's hard to escape
But on the other side things can be pretty great

Everyone wants a peaceful life. Not me. Give me diversity
Mundanity, on the other hand, is the ever-present gruel from which we pray to be released.
