Peace with our Past

Since we can't change the past, we might as well own it and make peace with it. Denying it is pointless, and rewriting it in flowery images that aren't true doesn't change its reality. We can change the way we react to the past by forgiving situations and making allowances, but we don't deny what happened or the hurt or pains we might have experienced. We accept what happened, and we can build a better present and future.
