Sometimes I wish that I could forget the past. 
But then I remember that even though my past broke me, it built me up to be the person I am today. 
And for that, I wouldn't change a single thing about my past. Everything in life happens for a reason. Every terrible situation, every heart ache, every horrible moment that's happened... It had purpose, and even if that purpose is hard to see right now, it's there and it's important. 
The tragedies you endure only build character, making you much stronger, wiser, and mature.  They prepare you for life. You would never have to live through a situation you can't handle. For everything will be okay in the end, and if it's not okay, it is not yet the end.
Just an addict with a pen looking for a quick fix.
