Toxic positivity or gratitude?
There’s a difference.
Toxic positivity says, “Pretend it doesn’t hurt.”
Gratitude says, “It hurts… but I refuse to let pain be the only thing I see.”
Shifting your perspective isn’t denying reality - it’s choosing not to be consumed by it.
Healing often begins the moment you stop asking, “Why is this happening to me?” and start asking, “God, what are You teaching me through this?”
Perspective doesn’t erase pain.
It gives pain a purpose.
