I am learning that you can't control how people act, but you can choose how you respond to them. If their actions are harmful to you, physically, emotionally, or otherwise you can remove yourself from the situation and refuse to let yourself be subject to that. You can't control other people, but you can control yourself, your actions, and how you respond to other people.

I feel like I am learning to think about things. I am not sure if this is good or not, but I suppose it is. I've always tried NOT to think about the bad things in my past, but I guess sometimes you need to think about them to decide how you feel about them? I am not sure, and it's still confusing, but I feel like I am starting to make progress and that is good
