Misty Brightdawn and complex trauma

Good day, everypony.

To be honest, I thought that my first blog post about mental health shall be the last. But happened that I finished MYM the first time and have something to share.

My previous post was informational, written for others. Current publication is more emotional, created only to express some emotions of mine.

During the show I thought that Hitch is closest character to me, organized, kind, protective, worrying. But when Misty was introduced into the plot she stole my heart immediately. Everything in her was resonating with my inner feeling, nature twisted by years of unhealthy relationships with her step mother, false goals and destructive wishes to find validation from Opaline, loneliness, seeking for belonging and wish to change order of things, gaining her authenticity with brand new cutiemark and staying a good person, no matter what.

Misty Brightdawn is a great illustration of complex trauma and it was nice to see a character in the show so detailed, complicated, so much different from others.

This post is tribute to Misty Brightdawn and her transformation as symbol of hope for people who's stuck in consequences of complex trauma.

Hey Scribbles,

I just want to say how deeply your post resonated with me. It’s so powerful that you’re sharing these emotions and connecting them to Misty’s journey. I can completely understand why she would have such a special place in your heart - her character’s depth, the pain she’s endured, and her longing for belonging are all reflections of the struggles many of us face in our own lives.

It takes such incredible strength to acknowledge the impact of complex trauma and still stay true to who you are, just like Misty does. Your connection to her story and how you’ve expressed it, is a beautiful reminder that even in the hardest of circumstances, we can keep growing and transforming. You’ve captured something so real here - the idea that even when life twists and turns, we can still hold onto hope and strive for something better.

Thank you for sharing this tribute to Misty, and for being so open about your feelings. It’s a reminder to me, and I’m sure to many others, that healing and transformation are possible, even when it feels like the odds are stacked against us. You’re truly a kind and thoughtful soul, and your post is a testament to that.

Sending you so much love and support. :hug_day:

Misty resonates with me tremendously because my life experiences are a lot like hers.
I was able to deeply understand the motivations behind her behaviour.
When I saw her story, my first reaction was, ‘Wow, she's just another me.’ :grin2:
