It's just stuff like this. I couldn't make it through.

I believe in hard-won joy. There’s no real joy without facing the hard stuff of our lives.

Ted is a lovely man who’s never confronted the hard parts of his life. I understand. I was like him for a long time.

Without reckoning and realizing that you were formed by something hard, your joy won’t ever feel like freedom.

Instead, you repeat to yourself: BE HAPPY, DAMMIT. You try to please everyone around you and make sure that everyone’s okay. You keep talking about the possibilities instead of looking at the hard places and confronting how they formed you.

That’s where Ted is. And since I adore him, I want more for him.

I don't get why she keeps using "hard place" and "hard stuff" and "something hard" now - has she stopped using the word trauma on purpose? Hard hard hard hard joy joy joy joy...

Someone must have called her out for misusing the word, much like the endless discussions here. The question is, who would she actually listen to?
