“Don’t let the worst things that happen to you be the benchmark for your self-respect. Don’t give bad people the power to hurt you again by believing you deserved what they did in the first place. You didn’t deserve it. You were just a kid. Life can be horrible sometimes, but it only has to stay horrible if you let it.”
― J.T. Geissinger, Rules of Engagement
