cheruib Answer:

i think mostly it was a decision and a choice i took — i remember reading this book called childhood treasures by a french author and i was mesmerized by the way he talked about his childhood like it was a magical time (the truth is it wasn’t but he had a way of focusing on the veryyyy smallest things. like the smell of the bread in the very early mornings and the sound of the footsteps of his grandmother as she woke up to start working in the farm and the color the eyes of his grandpa’s took when he was happy etc..) and i never really perceived life that way before and that gave me a whole new way to look at it. so i got a journal and i slowly started writing about some things that gave me a good feeling/made me happy. it was easy until i went through some bad days where i found it hard to find something to be joyful about. and then i thought maybe this is where i should dig deep and really try to see what happened during my day that could possibly be a positive thing. And that’s when i noticed that no matter how bad it gets, there’s somehow almost always something that makes it better. but what’s even more important i believe, is to embrace those bad days, those bad feelings, and look at them in the eye and talk to them like a mother. write to them. feel them. or take them with you on a walk, let them run into the hands of nature. come back with some of them. cook them dinner and sit with them. ask them what they’re demanding and if you could do something about it, try the next day. And if you couldn’t it, accept them and let them go. it takes bravery and a lot of love towards the world and oneself, but we all have that in us, we just need to let it float to the surface so we can hold it and shine it on us and around us. ❤️‍🩹

Look we have records of Medieval Knights crying out in their sleep, having emotional outbursts or flinching at the sound of clashing metal. We have records of people all through history who were treated badly by people who should have loved them, and having problems knowing who to trust. We have years worth of artists putting their human pain at broken hearts and broken promises into music that makes us cry.
Yes people have been traumatized by awful things for all of history and just like them You didn’t deserve to be hurt either.

Grizzly 399 is so cool! I went to her Wikipedia page intending to screenshot interesting facts about her, but I would really recommend you go check out the whole thing for yourself.
Grizzly 399 lives in close proximity to humans but has never caused problems or attacked a human - she has taught her many cubs important skills like looking both ways before crossing the road. She has had more triplets than is normal for grizzlies, and is far better at keeping triplets alive than less experienced mothers.
She had 22 progeny, (though not all survived) including Grizzly 610, who in 2011 adopted one of 399’s triplets along with her own two cubs. 399 previously went viral on social media for keeping her quadruplets alive through two seasons, despite bear cubs only having a 55% survival rate.
A beast crushing it on adapting to become more fit for her environment and passing on knowledge to her progeny. Top-tier animal.
