I'm kind of stewing over someone who clearly didn't listen to me when I was venting, and I just want to hear fresh advice. I want to get that off my mind. So what's the best piece of advice or encouragement you've received? It can be related to anything you've gone through. I want to absorb something positive.

To not let my past define me, I had an interesting childhood to put it mildly, and I really could have been sucked in, but I made my adult life so much better, sometimes I look back and I am mortified that was my life, but WAS is the operative word.

As an old retired woman, I have decided that people who aren't really THERE for me when I need them, well they are not that important in my life. Try venting to someone who will truly listen and then attempt to discard the problems YOU cannot solve yourself. Others will have to make the choice to be involved in changes you might make together, but it's their choice...you can only choose for YOU.
A very good piece of advice that I received once was when someone told me that no one will ever be as invested in my dreams and goals as I am in them and to not let anyone else dictate my path. I thought that was very good advice and I have carried it with me ever since. Hope this helps!
