A Few Words Aren't Going to Change the World
I've seen and heard a lot of people writing recently about abuse, attacks, addiction and victimization.
I have, too. Plenty.
Everyone processes grief uniquely. There are probably some normal stages that many people go through, but you are who you are and you know (or you will know) when you are ready to move on.
With regard to abuse and victimization, for most of you reading this, it's in the past. Whatever happened to you was unfair. Whatever happened to you was brutal and inhuman. But, whatever happened to you is in the past.
Whatever happened to you is in the past.
What you do about it today is not the fault of whoever wronged you.
Whatever you do today is the result of decisions you make.
Learn from your life.
Protect yourself appropriately.
The past only has control of the future in one circumstance: when you let it.
Were you are victim? Were you abused? Recognizing it is one thing.
Is there anything you can do about it now? Seriously.
Do anything you can, but as for the rest, let it go.
The actions of others are the responsibility of others. They speak volumes about the others. They do not define you. They are not you.
Be who you are.
Be open to the opportunities in front of you.
Be kind to yourself.
Breathe.

A very thoughtful and insightful post. I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Thank you for saying so. I really didn't want it to seem cold or cruel.
I just want people to be happy. I had to learn that I had control over this. It's not knowledge I've mastered, by any stretch of the imagination.
I felt it needed to be said.
I wrote that post for a friend that had confided in me. I don't have the answers for anyone else, only myself. I have found what works for me and that's enough. The post was actually meant to make this person feel better and to convey the treasure I had found in them.
Venus,
I read your post and many other similar posts all over the blogosphere. I wrote something that I felt needed to be said.
I wanted to feed some positivity and empowerment into the matrix, you know? There is too much pain. Too many people lashing out when they may not have to anymore.
If the post resonated with you, I'm glad.
As I said before, you are quite thoughtful. A character trait I find to be severely lacking anymore.
