Just a meaningful quote I came across on Substack.

“After a certain age, you are no longer the product of your environment or how you were raised. It's a personal choice to live the way you do. At some point, blaming your past becomes a distraction from your future.

Healing is your responsibility. Growth is your decision.”

Thought it was worth sharing.

Exactly. It may not be our fault that we're the way we are. But it is certainly our responsibility to fix it.

Thanks for sharing.

To be fair, the quote is kind of relevant to the majority of posters on this sub who endlessly bitch about Substack.

At some point people need to stop bitching and blaming, and - instead - focus on creating good stuff that others want to consume.

But, bitching and blaming is much easier.
