We can spend days, weeks, months, or even years sitting alone in the darkness, over-analysing a situation from the past, trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could have or should have happened. Or we can just leave the pieces on the floor behind us and walk outside into the sunlight to get some fresh air.
There are things we did not want to happen, but have to accept, things we don’t want to know, but have to learn, and people we can’t live without but have to let go. Some circumstances and people come into our lives just to strengthen us, so we can move on without them.
Never waste your time trying to explain yourself to people who have proven that they are committed to misunderstanding you. In other words, don’t define your intelligence by the number of arguments you have won, but by the number of times you have said,
“This needless nonsense is not worth my time.”
