Forgetting everything and moving on with life?

No one can destroy your WHOLE life unless you give them that power. The past is called the past for a reason so leave it behind and occupy your mind with school. Also, surround yourself around people that are pursuing the same goals. Everyone has a past their ashamed of, but it gives them the strength to want more and to rise above it. Look at Oprah, shes been beat, molested, raped, and abandoned, but LOOK shes so strong and down to earth plus successful. So thats why I say, its not easy, but focus on you and leave the past behind. Give yourself the life you now deserve. Good luck! Dont let ANYONE make u feel LESS than your WORTH or else they'll THINK they have PERMANENT permission. ;)
