Well you know, most of you guys have been through some pretty rough things, people generally make the mistake of letting things like that defining who they are, it's understandable, but not necessary.
Things happen, sometimes great things, other times not so great things, it's the same for every person on the planet.
Regardless, you just have to keep moving forward with what you have while being who you truly are, growing and learning from little experiences every day to be a better version of yourself. No matter how successful or powerful an individual you may become, you never stop learning.
Which is part of why people in general have so much potential, if they're self aware anyway.
