What To Do With The Bad Thing That Happens To Us?

We cannot thank the bad.
We cannot romanticize it.
And say that thanks to the bad we are stronger.
That thanks to the bad we are the people that we are.
No.

I wish bad had never happened to us.
I wish they had never attacked, harassed or mistreated us.
I wish I hadn’t died.

We cannot say that bad is good because bad is bad.

Nobody wants bad.
Bad does not improve us.
The bad makes us worse.

Let’s not justify those stories that try to take away the iron from the matter.
That overcome it that in someone else’s mouth sounds like salt in the wound.
That to take weight and importance to the stories that go through us.

We cannot tell our story without our past.
Is there.
We are the product of what happened to us.
Nor can we go back to a place that no longer exists so that this does not happen.

We can resist accepting it.
But that is so.
We are made up of all the regular and the terrible and the beautiful and the sad that there was.
And the important thing is not what happened to us, it is what we do with what happened to us.

We can get hooked on anger and frustration.
And let the days that remain here darken the edges.
Like a fruit falling from a tree.
Or we can continue.

Because if it is true that human beings have an immovable past, it is also true that we are masters of our present.
We can make decisions, although many times not all that we would like.
We must live according to a framework that often limits our freedoms.

But there is also a field of action.
Joy for example is a decision.
As it is also not to choose hatred.
Nonetheless.

We can make our spaces in the world places to celebrate ourselves, places of care and affection.
That is something that no one, no matter how much damage they have tried or done to us, will never be able to take from us.
Do not get bitter.
That is the greatest revenge against pain.

Live.
Clinging to the little things, the trunk, the bird, the water, the shore.
Believe in the future.
That’s the only thing that wins the pulse.
To the bad.
