There's a saying that says, the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else... Is that really true? or is it simply a pacifier? 

It's a hard thing to get over when someone you trusted turns their back on you and throw you in the pit of fire. There are people who will gossip about you, betray you, and laugh at you. All the while smiling in your face. Take all that and give them a front row seat when you start pulling on your power and turning it all around for your good!
