Miglior citazione da Rebuilding Life: Disability, Cannabis, and Depression

Acceptance doesn't mean you have to like what happened; it just means you stop wasting energy fighting against facts you can't change. When you accept the reality of your situation, you free up mental energy to focus on what you can actually control.
