Last week my car got broken into while I was running into a Starbucks to pick up my mobile order and that ish sucks so bad.

I left my work bag in the passenger side floor board and in the time it took for me to get inside and pick up my order, my window was shattered, and my stuff was gone. 

Of course when that happens a million things run through your mind and WHY? Why did I leave my stuff? Why did this have to happen to me? I should be able to run inside for coffee without someone being an asshole.

But that isn't the world we live in, so I take the situation and do my best to learn from it and empower myself for next time. 

It got me thinking about other BIG things that happen in life: toxics situations, toxics relationships, decisions made, and how sometimes we deal with people who really could not care less about us and how their actions impact our lives.

When we are dealing with situations like this it's important for us to recognize those types of people and learn from the past to protect ourselves in the future. 

While it is important to address that it is NEVER our fault when people choose to harm us - we can take bake control over these situations, no matter how difficult they are.
