“…These events take so much from you, but they also give you something in return: a choice. You can let hurt defeat you, break you down until all you want is for others to feel the same hurt. Or you can move on and learn to empathize with an entire population of people who have faced similar situations. You can choose to perpetuate suffering or do your best to alleviate it. Ironically, accomplishing the latter requires a painstaking amount of effort. Misery loves company and in order to avoid adding to its ranks, you must be vigilante, thoughtful, and compassionate. You have to think beyond yourself — an incredibly difficult thing to do when confronted with life’s difficulties…What do you do with the hurt that happens to you? You let it go.”
