We are the sum total of our experiences. If I hadn't had to deal with the tough stuff, and that includes the cripplingly horrifying and embarrassing stuff, I'd be a boring person with absolutely no neuroses at all. I mean, who'd want that? I like my crazy. My crazy lets me have fun. Without that, I'd be seriously bored and boring. Live life to the fullest.
I am reminded of what my shrink told me about a year ago.
He commented about a friend of his who was picked on in school. His friend referred to himself as "Tormented til interesting". A little harsh but true.
When you are in school and you are picked on and bullied you will strive for more. If you were already the top, why change? The most interesting people on the planet were bullied in school.
