I believe in the sacredness of bad experiences - that undergoing and processing painful things is inherently valuable and full of meaning, and that stepping directly into the thing that's hard to acknowledge - in both the world and yourself - is the key to growth and peace. So...
I'm realizing that tweets are a bad form for this; this is part of a significantly more nuanced philosophy. I'm not saying people shouldn't 'work to make things better,' I'm saying that there's a deeper way to handle pain mentally, independently of action.

Agreed that the character limit is restrictive. That's not how I'm taking your point - isn't that philosophy reductive through the lens of intersectional structural oppression? Process pain as meaningfully as you want, if it's inflicted disproportionately, that value is near null
