i was not reborn in light. i was reborn in fire. the difference matters.

The stereotype of the nerd girl taking her glasses off and suddenly she's beautiful, but in reverse. A cold tough mean office lady who glares at everyone until she gets glasses and suddenly becomes sweet, approachable and friendly since she no longer has a constant headache over not being able to fucking see, doesn't need to squint at everything, and actually remembers individual people by name now that she can tell them apart at all.

I just told a friend of mine this because I'm so frustrated with the fundamentals of my job and I'm just starting but I need this job

I think (I could be so wrong not a psychologist or scientist) with trauma it's almost the opposite like you're so sad at the loss of innocence/naivety that your angry when someone else knows nothing about trauma, yet trauma can be so bad you're brain forgets it in order to cope. Just a very random thought.
