You're going to go through bad things in life. You'll experience gut wrenching, heart breaking moments that change you forever. You don't get to skip those parts of life but, you can refuse to let them be your whole story. You can refuse to dwell and become consumed by anger, instead turning your pain into purpose. You can take back control by deciding what to do next. No one wants to hurt in life but you can decide how long you let the hurt consume you for. You might not have been responsible for the hurt but how you treat the wound when it's healing is all on you.
