              "You are not what happened to you.

                You are not your scars.  You are

                not your past.  You are not what

                your ex has told you, or the lies

                your dark days have rained on

                you.  You are a warrior.  And

                I'm so proud of you for waking

                up everyday and facing your

                fears.  So proud of you for not

                                giving up."                      

The moving finger writes; And having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line Nor all your Tears Wash out a Word of it. Omar Khayam

Of course what happens to you becomes a part of who you are & you can let it break you or empower you.

I understand the sentiment. With healing and release, we are no longer held hostage, like prisoners, because of our past. We are free to grow and learn from our experiences. What a freedom this is.
