It has been an educational experience this past week.

By learning that bringing up the past is not productive to developing the tools that I need to cope with life’s challenges and understanding that life is not always going to be perfect, but by doing what we can do to manage our feelings in that very moment can make all the difference in how we feel about ourselves in that very moment so we are able to get ourselves through the hard things we must go through while keeping care of ourselves by doing what we need to do to hold up to our responsibilities.
