It is difficult to think about how could you possibly rebuild yourself after experiencing things that have broken you and caused profound hurt. How do you go back to who you once were? The truth is, you can't. But you could pick up the pieces, start anew, and become something better. Stronger. Wiser. Someone once said that hurt, pain, and disappointment could be a catalyst for profound re-invention, and this piece encapsulates that for me.
