The past is behind you, look to the future.
To any that read this, thank you. Imply whatever you wish out of this post. There will be no TL;DR.
Long ago you were taken advantage of in some light. Be it by your parents, friends, or absolute strangers, online or off. It was no doubt a difficult time for you and you felt a sense of anger and sadness all in one. You were powerless...and it really sucked because there was nothing you could do about what was going on.
Whether it happend yesterday, a week ago, months, or even years, you vowed that someday, when you grow up, or when you have the ability, or when you attain the power, you'll get back at those that wronged you. You'll take what was done to you, and use it as a lesson for the future. You'll become stronger from the experience instead of lying in the dirt wallowing in misery.
Be proud of yourself. Be glad you made it so far and carried the weight of the experiences you went through to get where you are now. You overcame a challenge many struggle to even face. But now that you have that power...Now that you've done what you couldn't before...what now?
The person/people/circumstances that created that stressful time lies in the past and you're beyond it now. What's happened, was done from one specific instance, but not all instances. It was done from one or many specific people, but not all people.
Your vengence extending to all instances or all people leads you to becoming the very instance/person/people that you strove to overcome. You've become the very thing that you sought to be against for days, weeks, months, or even years.
I say this not to insult you, villianise you, or call you a monster. I say this to encourage you, help you, and tell you there are people who want to show you care. You've become something you never imagined. You've done things you never could have seen yourself doing in a million years, and for it, it seems the world is against you. It seems as though more instances or people are trying to take away all that you've worked so hard for. It seems like the world is trying to beat you down and take away the power you've spent so much time building up to.
It doesn't have to be that way though. The power you strove for, worked so hard for, and swore you'd someday use for better purposes can continue and can be. You don't have to be the person/instance that you once hated so much. You don't want to be that person/instance.
What's happened to you was before, but the future isn't then. The future is all that you make it, and the past can be a lesson for that future. The past can serve as an example of what once was, and what should stay as nothing but a memory. A memory better yet left where it belongs, behind you.
Once again: Imply whatever you wish from this post, I seek not to dismay the man with the gun, and you know what they say about the one with the gun, afterall.
