You are not tragic. Your life is worth living and no amount of bad luck or unfortunate happenings will make that statement false.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By defining yourself with tragedy, you are setting yourself up for self-hatred and self-doubt. You need look past all the bad things, look into what you are at your core. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deep down you are so much more than just a &amp;#8220;damaged soul.&amp;#8221; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t get me wrong; the tragedies in your life should not be overlooked or dismissed. Pay due attention to them and &lt;strong&gt;take the time to cry&lt;/strong&gt; and scream and heal yourself. But these &lt;strong&gt;tragedies will never define who you are.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who you are is how you let these tragedies affect your life&lt;/strong&gt;. Learn from them, don&amp;#8217;t succumb to them. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had once defined myself through tragedy. I thought (and said) &amp;#8220;I am who I am because &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt; happened&amp;#8230;. because this person did &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt;&amp;#8230; because this person neglected &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt;&amp;#8230; etc.&amp;#8221; Living like that, I build up a shell. I could almost feel it around me. I felt like it gave me strength. Like: look who I&amp;#8217;ve become! Because my life is so tragic, I no longer give a shit! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One day, however, that shell was shattered by a blow which it wasn&amp;#8217;t built to withstand. I realized that who I really was cannot possibly be portrayed through a shell. Instead, I had hidden who I really am within that shell. Months (and even years) went by and I am still struggling to dig deep into what my life &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; be defined as.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Life is hard to define, but I can absolutely guarantee you that your life is sure as fuck not defined by tragedy. You are worth so much more than such a shitty definition.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sorry for the rant, I just wanted to share this opinion/story/concept. If you read this whole thing, thank you so much for reading. I hope that this was of benefit to someone out there. And if not, hopefully I at least gave you something to think about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://hellomynameisstacey.tumblr.com/post/50316870227</link><guid>http://hellomynameisstacey.tumblr.com/post/50316870227</guid><pubDate>Sun, 12 May 2013 23:28:11 -0400</pubDate><category>rant</category><category>oops</category><category>depression</category><category>self-harm</category><category>cutting</category><category>suicide</category><category>tragedy</category><category>rape</category><category>happy</category><category>motivate</category><category>thanks for reading</category><category>self</category><category>writing</category></item><item><title>hi, how's your night? how's your life?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;My night is going pretty well so far!
