There are things in everyone’s lives that they wish never happened. Maybe an embarrassing moment or something traumatic. And often times our reaction is to wish that it never happened because we don’t want the memory of it. But everything that happens to you: the good, the bad, the ugly, the awful, the beautiful, the strange, the unusual: it all affects you whether you like it or not. Once your brain learns something, sees something, hears something, it can’t be undone. But that doesn’t matter.
What does matter is how you decide to deal with it. Anything, and I mean anything, can be turned into something beautiful. It just takes time, support, and strength and the world truly can be a beautiful place. Just don’t give up.
