Stop Blaming Your Past
We all have a past, some of them are fucking horrific. SO WHAT!?!?

Trapping yourself in the past is an easy way of relieving yourself of the responsibility you have for your current circumstances.
Build something bigger and create yourself a bright and satisfying future. Focus on the potential and possibility that its weight will snap you free from that significant and laborious past.
