Most of the music from that time I've erased. It was a bad time, full of fear, anxiety and repressed anger over my own existence. You don't want to be reminded of that.

“Scars show us where we have been, they do not dictate where we are going.” ― David Rossi

"It is said that history repeats itself, but we are only doomed to relive our past if we fail to learn from it. The past is not a map to where you are going, it's a record of where you have been. Its purpose is not to drag you back through emotional muck, but to serve you best by reminding you of lessons learned so you can avoid them in the future." ― from React or Respond by Kimberly and Tom Goodwin

Brilliantly put, both times. Hard to keep in mind when all the bullshit is happening, though helpful.
