The experience might be long gone, but the wound we carry is unimaginable.

We play it over and over again in our minds about how we could’ve done things differently or obsess over the fact that it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

The truth is it’s over and you can’t do anything about it. Maybe what happened wasn’t your fault, maybe it was out of your control but how you respond to life is your responsibility.

Whether you are at fault or not, you are solely responsible for the perspective you hold toward everything that happens with you. And it’s time you drop that burden that doesn’t deserve your attention.
