This quote hits home! I totally believe in this with all my heart. My childhood was not anything I would wish on anyone however I am the person I am today because of my struggles.
What you have been through in your life kind of shapes how you, however it’s all on you on where you take it. You can either stand right up and brush yourself off or stay on the ground struggling. It is your choice and no one can make it for you! I hit bottom more times than I should have but that was on me. I spent years being mad and sad but none of that helped so I made the decision to move forward. I have a beautiful family that loves me and of course I love them back. I have friends who will drop whatever they are doing to help me because they know I would do the same for them. I won’t let my past control my future and I’m happy I went through life struggles to teach me valuable lessons that I can pass on to my kids. They won’t have the same struggles as I had but they will have their own.

I love this quote--an it really is the truth-- I had a great childhood-- but boy I sure made a look of mistakes on the way to and thru adulthood-- it was so much easier being a kid. I have the same type of support system too-- family I don't know what I would do without and friends the same.I have been so blessed in everything I have, and thats been done for me. God has been so good-- I almost lots my husband with three heartaches,those were very tough times.I lots the best job in the world for me when the company sold to a place in California-- could have had my job with them but it would have meant to move, I'm a country gal and I would have been in Oxnard--no thanks. Spent to weeks down there training people to do my job. Then While my husband was in the National Guards after being a Marine forever--he fell. Now he's disables... but its so ok he's alive,and doing the best he can daily. Yup I wouldn't have changed a thing,even all the bad choices, and bump in the road-- I'm happier and stronger for it.
