[The Journey of Fragmented Echoes] The Lack of a Trigger Warning
Trigger warnings are everywhere these days, expected, almost mandatory. Frowned upon when not included. People see them as a sign of respect, a courtesy to prepare readers for heavy themes. But I made a deliberate choice not to include them in my work. Not because I don’t care about my readers, but because I care too much to water down the experience.
I don’t write to make people comfortable. I don’t write to be shocking, either. I write to be honest. And honesty isn’t always easy to swallow. Life doesn’t give us neat little disclaimers before things fall apart. You don’t get a warning before heartbreak guts you, before grief takes hold, before the weight of the world presses down on you.
So why should my writing pretend otherwise?
