I used to believe
all anger was wrong,
so I was the captain of the tone police—
until I discovered politeness is not rightness,
that anger is not always hate, but hurt,
and to be loving is to be fiercely angry at injustice.

You're so hard on yourself.
Take a moment. Sit back. Look at your life, look at the trauma that softened you, at the wounds you've healed, at the suffering that strengthened you. Despite everything, you still grew. Be proud of this. —@Boii_McCoy

After all, [the world] is on my side. That is, I’m a part of it. Not separate from it. I walk on the ground and the ground’s walked on by me, I breathe the air and change it, I am entirely interconnected with the world.

hard pill to swallow: there isn't an old you to get "back" to.
there's but the opportunity to create and nurture a new you.
