What you've been through

Sometimes people assume that if a person is happy, it means they haven’t been through much or been hurt or challenged in life.

The truth is, most everyone has a story.

Most everyone has been through pain and betrayal that changed them in ways that they can never go back to how they were before. Some people hold on to that pain and become bitter. They don’t even realize they have a choice. Others choose to work through the pain and let it go so that they can move on with their lives, trust other people, love other people, and truly be happy again.
