Read this profound statement today:

 When I turn a negative experience into a tool that brings meaning into my life and others, I am taking the best kind of revenge on my abuser...

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Negative things done to you in your past hurt. They'll hurt forever if you let them. There comes a point in time when you have to realize that you can't live backwards. Dwelling on the past is dying. Cherishing today and looking forward to tomorrow is living. Don't let your past prevent you from living.

This Was My Life

If this is your life too, then get out now while you can. It will not get better. In time you will completely lose sight of yourself. Don't allow anyone to have that much control over you. You are strong. You are brave. You are beautiful...
