In the famous words of Forest Gump: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." What they didn't tell you is that there are gonna be chocolates in that box that taste like crap. These are referred to as the hard lessons of life. You can either pretend it never happened, dwell on it and let it hold you back, or learn from it and choose more wisely in the future. The choice truly is yours. No one else can make you choose which path to take into the future.
