you didn't choose your wounds but you're choosing to stay in them

we often have the power to decide whether we continue to dwell on them. The phrase "you didn't choose your wounds but you're choosing to stay in them" serves as a poignant reminder that our responses to adversity can either hold us back or propel us forward. By acknowledging the wounds of our past and recognizing the agency we have in our present, we can begin to heal and move towards a more fulfilling future.
