“You think your past defines you, and worse, you think that it is an unchangeable reality, when really, your perception of it changes as you do.

This doesn’t mean to disregard or gloss over painful or traumatic events, but simply to be able to recall them with acceptance and to be able to place them in the storyline of your personal evolution.”
