Things Happen

Bad things, sometimes really bad things, happen. They don't have to  define you. It's not who you are, it's something that happened. It will change you and you won't be the same person you were before but it's ok to not be the same person. It's what you do as that new person that's important. 

You can let it consume you or you can live with it. You can think about it all day everyday or it can come into your mind everyday because you will never forget it but then let it go. You don't have to be the victim and you don't have to be the survivor, you can just be.
