And I'm going to tell you what Jack told me and I remember to this day:
Let your anger be your armor. But use it as your shield not your sword.
OK, so pirate chicks don't usually wear armor, but work with me here. Actually, since I prefer more of a (better be careful with copyrights here) "Epic Fantasy Trilogy" reference:
"There is always hope."
Everybody hurts. It's part of life. Don't miss the good stuff.
