The bullying, the struggle with my weight, my father’s yells, and my mother’s indifference … they’d all made me into the person I was now. Rather than weakening me, they had made me stronger.
Our past doesn’t define us. We get to decide whether we learn and grow or stay stuck. My past use to scare me and made me feel shame, but the things I went through made me a kinder, loving and more compassionate adult.
