The past does not define your future from "summary" of The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish
When I look back on my life, I see a lot of pain and struggle. I see a little girl who went through things that no child should ever have to go through. I see a teenager who made some bad decisions that landed her in foster care. I see a young woman who was homeless and living out of her car. But you know what I also see? I see a survivor. I see someone who refused to let her past define her future. It can be easy to get stuck in the past, to let the things that have happened to us dictate the course of our lives. But I learned a long time ago that the past is just that - the past. It doesn't have to define who we are or where we're going. We have the power to shape our own futures, no matter what we've been through. I used to think that my past was a burden, something that I would always have to carry around with me. But then I realized that my past is actually my strength. It's what made me who I am today. It taught me resilience, it taught me compassion, it taught me empathy. And most importantly, it taught me that I am capable of overcoming anything that comes my way. So if you're reading this and you're feeling like your past is holding you back, I want you to know that it doesn't have to. You have the power to change your story, to rewrite your future. You are not defined by the things that have happened to you - you are defined by how you choose to respond to them. So take control of your narrative, and remember that the past is just a chapter in your book, not the whole story.
