there's no such thing as good or bad , just experiences, how we choose to react to them,,learn or ignore, is what matters one allows you to become bitter the other allows you to grow as a human


I wouldn't say ignore, ignoring what's going on doesn't really help at all, it just delays the inevitable. But learning how to cope, how to carry it and how to acknowledge it happened, acknowledge how it affected you and leave it in the past, that's better, I think. The past will sometimes rear its ugly head, but once you've learned how to put it in perspective, it gets easier to put it back where it belongs.
thats what im sayin what you do with the experience is what has the consequences


Exactly. We as humans choose how we react to certain things and situations. Yes, we go through some bad stuff, stuff that is horrendous. But we have the choice to find something positive or to wallow in the negative forever.
every step ive takin in life i used to be angry and question why... instead of looking at it as an opportunity to learn grow and become a stronger person. i see that now and look at things as possible learning experiences instead of sayin this sucks,why me, my happieness has increased doing this

For most people, it does. Sometimes, it takes a catastrophe to change your thinking. Sometimes, it's just a matter of getting sick of being unhappy all the time. But in all cases, it takes growing up enough to take the responsibility for your life, good, bad, and indifferent. Owning your decisions, owning things that happened and understanding how you are the only person who is responsible for how you feel and what you do with your life.

Being ok with who you are only comes after. But, if you do it right, that's how you come out of the tunnel. For many, including myself, it took quite a lot of counseling before I could come to terms with certain things. It's not an easy process but I wouldn't change it for anything.

Very good Mikey! I agree. I think we refer to this as 'live and learn'. If we do the learning we come out ahead.

Topic: to take a chance
i can spend my life picking apart,
every little thing i see,
or judging people from the start,
because they're not how i think they should be,
i could pass by doors that could be unlocked,
because i might not like what lays behind,
or keep the ship of my spirit docked,
never set sail to see what i find.
i can let what other people think,
stop me from making a choice,
and in the pits of sorrow sink,
because i was to weak to use my voice.
instead i think i'll bare my soul,
and let my spirit dance,
i'll never wonder what may have been,
because i was willing to take a chance.
