It doesn’t matter how horrendous, painful and heart-stabbing the actions of others have been upon us -- whether it was childhood classmates laughing at us or a high school crush rejecting us or our mother abandoning us or a trusted adult molesting us. If we take another person’s hurtful actions to mean that we are unworthy, unlovable, broken, or defective then our misery is of our own making. They committed the offense but we are the ones who gave it meaning and who drag it behind us every day. ~Kim
