“The key is not to let these things fester. Worst of all, don't revel in being a victim. Don't become comfortable in your misery. Take back control. You may not be able to change what happened, but you can change your perception of it. All you need is the intention, and you have the power to change. Face up to what happened, admit it and try to move on. Through understanding, try to forgive not only yourself but the person who did this to you. This is truly another path to happiness.”
― Goldie Hawn, A Lotus Grows in the Mud
