Sometimes the moments that we wish never happened, thw moments that we feel we never deserved to experience, the moments we try to push to thw far recesses of our minds and lock behind doors, the moments when the intensity of the emotions we are feeling can no longer be described as one word or a string of sentences but reaches far beyond the comprehensive ability of the human mind, it is these moments that determine who we are. You see even though people say not to let our circumstances or past define who we become it always will. However, it is our choice wether or not that definition will be good or bad. More often than not people do or experience something that is shameful and they let thw paun and darkness of what happened consume them and tear them apart. They fall victim to a cycle of bad decisions; to which people respond to by condemning them and giving up on them, which in turn makes the person give up on theirselves. So instead of telling people not to let their circumstances define them, we need to start telling them to choose to let their circumstances become an outstanding definition of who they are.
