First Time Watching Forrest Gump (1994) | No Cry challenge

[@BissFlix]

Hello everyone

[@BissFlix]

@gregloya3083 who said that? Well sometimes old movies age bad This one did not, I don t see where your problem is?

[@andybricks576]

Jenny's character played a 'typical' portrayal of sexual abuse trauma and how it basically affected all her relationships for the rest of her life. (Btw, Jenny didn’t send the letters back, the postal service just couldn’t find her.)

[@aryansigrid]

Jenny was traumatized & it's attitudes like yours Bissute that the world can do without! How is judging & writing Jenny off any good for anyone, everybody deserves unconditional love. You heard Forrest say Jenny's Father liked "touching" & "kissing" her & her sister's all the time!!?? Put yourself in Jenny's little mind & body & try to imagine the HELL she experienced everyday from birth! Imagine a little girl, basically a baby, having to deal with a grown, smelly, drunk & violent adult male sexually molesting you, raping you on a regular basis! -And that is supposed to be her Dad?? Jenny was not a bad person & your "Victim Shaming" is an atrocity!! “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged.” [Btw, Boats are females, they're always referred to as a "She"].

[@BissFlix]

@gregloya3083 Alright let me put it like this When one thinks about films that have "aged well" one thing they kinda have in common is that they have captured what it means to be, or feels like to be, a human being. Technology and film making techniques will inevitably change and improve, but you know our sense of curiosity, our anxieties, feelings etc probably won't change all that much as they are what makes us human. Films that don't explore these conditions are generally doomed to age poorly; Movies that are popular and great only because of trending characteristics such a slag, phases of fashion etc will age bad due to the fact that no one will care nor understand those concepts in 30 years . I am trying to get my point without writing a novel ! Long story short THIS movie aged amazing For being OLD . it was a compliment I hope you can see my point now . Good day

[@Hansen710]

watch the IT crowd the way it looks at women and the way IT have changed, makes it age very bad it doesent have to be that old to age bad, things change fast these days a book like mein kampf by Hitler also aged bad very fast for most people

One of the best things from this movie is that Gary Sinise was so moved from playing a Viet Nam veteran that he has devoted his life to helping and supporting veterans.

NIXON was the president of the United States. In this movie he invites Forrest to a new hotel WATERGATE. In this hotel the FBI founded some documents that ended with the dismission of Nixon , and the case was called Watergate. In the movie Forrest is the one who alert the FBI there were people in that hotel just as it was the beginning of the case

[@zh2184]

Pretty close Mr. Alfredo. President Nixon's attempt at reelection included an illegal effort to collect information about his main opponent in the 1972 election. It led to a break-in and burglary at the Democratic Party headquarters in the Watergate building, where Forrest was staying. The local police force in Washington DC was alerted to strange activity one night, and those police arrested burglars in the building, who would later be connected to the President and senior advisors by the FBI and news reporters - which led to his resignation in 1974.

[@jonathanross149]

It was so big that every high political American scandal now ends in -gate

[@chrispadgett5900]

Multiple presidents during this movie but your right on Watergate

[@nocalsteve]

Actually, Nixon had a secret source of money that was used by his secret operatives to undermine political rivals. His operatives broke into the Democratic National headquarters at the Watergate office complex with the intent of bugging the offices. A security guard interrupted the burglary and the men were arrested which started an investigation by newspapers that eventually revealed that Nixon was directly involved. Nixon resigned.

[@craigplatel813]

Actually the Committee to reelect the president (CREEP, not joking) broke into the Democratic national headquarters in the Watergate hotel. The coverup which Nixon was involved in was the scandal causing him to resign

[@Ninjuhz]

Forrest embodies what it means to love unconditionally. He's pure in a way that most are not. I think most viewers understandably want to relate to Forrest and put themselves in his shoes, and for sure Jenny hurt him, so most viewers react to her mistreatment of Forrest the way they would if they were in his position. But really I think most people are closer to Jenny and have backgrounds that damaged them and doubts that make them question if they're worthy of love. Jenny pushed Forrest away because she convinced herself she was sparing him, and it took her a long time to realize that was wrong. If Forrest still loves her, not because of her faults but in spite of them, so should you. Instead of wishing Forrest would react like a 'normal' person and denounce Jenny, it is us who should aspire to rise to Forrest's level of love, patience, and hope for the future.

[@seanemery6019]

Resounding yes! So much of this movie was this message.

[@The_RedVIII]

Amazing comment. This. And thank you.

[@alektosapytal6478]

Like if you said to a woman that gets beaten by her bf to just bear it, love him despite it and have patience. Life isn't that easy, Forrest is an extreme case of purity because of his lower intelligence, he doesn't understand that things are more complicated than as he sees them, he is something like a puppy. It's ok not to be with someone who doesn't deserve you.

@@alektosapytal6478 it's a movie, way to kill the message..

People who want to put themselves in Forrest's shoes haven't paid close attention to what it's like to be in Forrest's shoes.

[@laurab68707]

Jenny never felt she was good enough for Forrest. That was why she stayed away from him. She felt she was damaged goods. Finally realizing later after she got off drugs and a bad life that she had not treated Forrest well. Great reaction!!

[@billparrish4385]

Exactly right! Plus, not only does she feel 'not good enough' for Forrest, but very likely Jenny thought she was abusing him, in the same way she had been abused. Those who have suffered at the hands of another person often try to make sense of what has happened to them by taking on the guilt of their attacker. Their fear of lack of control is so strong, so profound, they'd rather see themselves at fault, because at least that brings any solution to the situation back within their reach. They 'must have screwed up somehow', they think, because something so awful coming at them, unmerited, random, unpredictable, is too horrible to contemplate. In Jenny's case, she realized that as a child, she couldn't have influenced her father, but the desire to find some fault in herself and make some part of the pain fixable was so strong, she convinced herself she had inherited his predilections for abusing sexually someone weaker, emotionally younger. So, Jenny's dad took advantage of her when she was a child, and now here she was 'taking advantage' of a childlike man, who didn't even 'know what love is'. She was protecting Forrest by removing from his life a 'monster' like herself, daring to have romantic feelings toward this good person who, while lovable, was unable to reciprocate love, being forever a child (or so she thought). Jenny was disgusted with herself for having the audacity to indulge in romantic feelings for someone like Forrest. As she told the cab driver, she wasn't running from anything. It was the morning after the night before, and in the cold light of day, in her mind, she was removing a threat from poor Forrest -- herself.

[@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons]

Jenny saw Forrest as a childhood friend first-and-foremost, also she was his friend when nobody else was and long before he became rich

[@granadosvm]

Jenny's character portrays what many victims of abuse go through in life when they don't get proper treatment and therapy. Going from abusive relationship to abusive relationship. Not being able to love themselves, running away from people who treat them well, because internally feel they don't deserve love and at the same time fear the love will become betrayal, like his father's did. Forrest seems to understand how damaged and hurt she is when he says "some times, there are just not enough rocks". I don't know what the writers had in mind, if during the three years Forrest was running she went to therapy, or if being a mother grounded her, she looked more peaceful at the end, even accepting her imminent death. There is an evident transformation in the character at the end.

From Elvis to AIDS (or Hep C) Forrest Gump is the story of a generation; the historical touchstones, the music, the traumas, and the philosophical and existential questions we wrestled with. It always fun to watch to watch people react and see which things the recognize or remember and which they don't. I enjoyed your reaction, even though I have to disagree with you about Jenny. You recognize her trauma and the effect if had on her self-worth, but (IMO) underestimate how it influenced every (bad) decision in her life as she tried to run from it in any and every way possible. Keep up the excellent work.

Also, Lt. Dan told Forrest that if he ever became a shrimp boat captain then he’d be an astronaut, so by walking on legs made of titanium alloy he had something in common with space shuttle astronauts.

[@ollie511]

Hey Rainer, I agree with you! Forrest Gump is 1 of those movies that never gets old for me! Whenever I watch it, I just find that it is SO engaging and well-acted that it feels like it is a quick watch even though the movie is almost 2 1/2 hours long. I also think it has moments that most people can relate to on an emotional level. For me Personally, I often connect with this movie because my brother actually has Autism (So Forrest and my brother can relate a bit since they are both disabled). I also just wanted to mention that I actually posted a video on my KZbin channel that was almost like a tribute video to Forrest Gump (though I called it a Mashup). You see, there's a band named Family Of The Year, and they used their hit song "Hero" for Richard Linklater's 2014 movie called Boyhood. For my video, I used "Hero" as background music while showing various scenes from Forrest Gump. Aside from matching song lyrics with movie scenes, my intention with the video was to try and create something unique. If you have a few minutes sometime and happen to be Interested, here is a link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haOQpHyfg6aBj8k If you don't check it out, then no worries at all! I certainly will Not be offended! But Thank You So Much in advance if you do see it! I hope you Have A Great Day Today, Rainer! Please Stay Safe and Stay Awesome! 🙂🙂🙂

I'm glad you realized Jenny wasn't really a bad person. She hurt Forrest, but it wasn't out of malice. Because of her abusive background, she felt broken and worthless. She did love Forrest, but thought she didn't deserve him. That's why she left him in DC and got on the bus with the guy who hit her. That's the kind of guy she thought she was worthy of.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Yes. This is a point that a lot of these movie reactors don't quite get. Abused people often have low opinions of themselves and who they are worthy of.

[@Mason.Ulick60]

This is the kind of guy she was worthy of. I had an extremely rough up bringing too, in and out of the foster system, I’ve been to juvie. In and out with DCFS my father was an abusive drunk, my mom wasn’t around. But I would never do what Jenny put forest through. Just because she had a rough upbringing doesn’t excuse her selfish, whoreish, waste of human existence.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

@@Mason.Ulick60 Not everyone is the same. You can't project your responses to life on everyone else, even if you were both abused. I see the situation the opposite from you: Jenny is shielding Forrest from her life because she knows she is a mess. And promiscuity is a very common trait for women (and men to a lesser extent) who have been sexually abused.

[@Mason.Ulick60]

[@1971tallica]

34:15 no she couldn't communicate with Forrest, he had been running for all that time over 3 years , there was no way for her to know where he was during that time. Most people never piece that part together and think she just hid from him that he had a child. There are so many little details like how Jenny's only coping mechanism was to run, she tells Forrest he doesn't know what love is but she was the one who didn't know because she had never received it , Jenny's life is a tragic story of PTSD and how there was no help back in the 70's and early 80's. She finally found some meaning and self worth to a point when she had little Forrest and saw and felt real love for the 1st time. So many vilify her when she really was a victim who didn't know how to move past it.

[@Chanteuse66]

Also it would've taken a lot of time and help to get herself straightened out. Probably getting pregnant was her wake-up call. She'd have had to get clean, get a job, take care of a child, STAY clean, just a lot of things. Who knows how long it took her to do all that?

[@pvuccino]

@@Chanteuse66 I think when she left after they slept together, she had already made the decision to get better. She was very calm, not panicking or anything and when the cab driver asked her where she was running off to, she answered "I'm not running." She was leaving, because she still thought Forrest was too good for her, but instead of going back to her old life, she decided to make herself worthy of his love, because with all her package she could really screw him up and she didn't want to. So, I'm guessing the baby just came as a lucky coincidence, since she had already started to straighten herself out. But still, it would be a long time to work through such a trauma and I doubt she had a therapist or something! lol

Jenny was a very hurt child who grew up to be a confused woman. We all know how childhood experiences can twist us. She never lied to Forest that she was romantically in love with him, he kept trying, she made it clear to him that she was lost and possibly depressed. I feel sorry for her, not everyone can show love or accept it. And you're all very hard on her.

[@EazyDoesitxD]

Everyone has bad experiences. My life was far from perfect. I was never so self destructive and manipulative. All through adult Jenny's storyline she only showed up in his life when she wanted something from him. Even when they ran into eachother by accident she would get him in fights then get mad at him for protecting her. I can accept that her upbringing was bad and also blame her for her terrible choices as an adult. Even in the end. She had a kid with Forest and said nothing. She most likely would have never said anything to him. She got sick and knew she was going to die. So she had no choice and again had to use forest. That's not okay. It's okay to like her but people are hard on her because she deserves it. She's manipulative and toxic. Yes you can blame it on her upbringing. But it doesn't absolve her of her choices. Your upbringing only matters as much as you let it.

Forrest was rich at this point, and she didn't ask him for any money. 2. Agree, she did wanted something from Forrest, but it was not for her personal gain it was for their child. Other option was foster care. No doubt, she is a very flawed character... but you made her out to be far worse than she was: "ALL THROUGH adult Jenny's storyline she only showed up in his life when she wanted something from him." "She's manipulative..." "repeatedly put him down." Yet... you barely gave one solid example for any of the claims you made. You can have your opinion of her, but I'm just not seeing what you are seeing.

[@EazyDoesitxD]

@@keepernod2888 no you are choosing to ignore what you are seeing. 1. How long she stayed doesn't change the fact that she only went there when she had nowhere else to go. Forrest himself says she had nowhere else to go and that's why she went to him. 2. Again no. She could have told him about his son LONG before she realized she was dying. Again only going to him as a last resort or when she needs something and has no other options. Yes foster care isn't a better option then be with the rich father. However instead of telling him about it or contacting him or even trying to. She got her own place and kept the kid a secret until she didn't have any other choice. I didn't make her out to be anything. All of the things I said she did. She actually did. I'm not making her out to be anything. I'm just stating her actions. My words are true. Every single time she goes to him. It's because she needs something or he's the last resort because her other options either don't work or she doesn't have any other options. She did manipulate him. She did repeatedly put him down. Thinking he doesn't understand how to care for people because he's dumb or how when he gives her advice on bad people in her life she disregards it as he doesn't understand and that those people aren't like that all the time. So I say again. How are none of these claims solid when all of them are hard facts on things Jenny did and said during the movie. Did she have a bad childhood? Yes it was terrible. However that doesn't then mean that all of her shitty decisions can be absolved. No she's an adult. It is up to her what she does and doesn't do. In her case she made almost all terrible choices. So you tell me then. Can you name a single time she came to him. (Not bump into eachother like at the naked guitar show or like at the speech about Nam.) Without the situation being forced or her not having any options? Also all your doing is making excuses for her terrible choices. You aren't saying anything about how she's good. Do you know why that is? Because you cant. Jenny is a kindhearted idiot who made so many bad choices in her life that she almost died and eventually got an illness that did kill her. Forrest should get checked cuz if it was aids or something he might have it too. 🤷

[@RoadDoug]

Jenny loved Forrest but, she knew she wasn’t good enough. When she started to feel secure, she would run.

[@BudhagRizzo]

Running is a huge theme in this movie. Forrest always ran for Life and Jenny always ran from it. A lot of people get mad at Jenny for that, but her life was a tragic one. The abuse she suffered as a child made her see herself as worthless and meaningless. It wasn't until she had little Forrest that she began to see worth in herself, but by that time it was too late.

This was fantastic, thank you for throwing down your thoughts. Subscribed ma'am.

[@petepeeters2921]

Hahaha, every one of your reactions to JENNY was hilarious. Good reaction, great movie choice! Unless you're a perfect actress, you seem like a very good person. Mom did good, haha. I can't recommend another movie exactly like Forrest Gump, cause this is one-of-a-kind. But do you trust me? haha Your next movie review should be Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (read the wiki on the Manson Murders first, it won't ruin the movie or your reaction but it will give you some understanding and you'll appreciate the movie that much more) you'll love it. Other GREAT movies to review are Shawshank Redemption, Good Will Hunting, The Green Mile, Pulp Fiction and The Silence of the Lambs.

[@charlescallen460]

Please please please keep reacting to movies. In recent months I watch reaction channels almost exclusively. This is one of my favorites that I have seen. Thank you!

I will

[@RealDiehl99]

This is one of my favorite movies! As you said, "...the story, the acting, the details...". All are great! I've seen many reactions to this movie. It always seems that female reactors judge Jenny more harshly than male reactors. I'd love to hear a psychiatrist explain why.

[@BissFlix]

I don t hate her but i do dislike her , I understand her situation and what she went through , I don t like that she always went back to forrest , I think i was just afraid of her hurting him which did happen the poor guy ran for 3 years . But yes I don t hate her I just think that if she knew she had this issues she should have stayed away forever . I really disliked her at the fountain/speech scene . I hope this kinda explains why I don t like her character

[@stevecoronado1103]

I've seen this movie so many times and never cried until watching this reaction of yours! 🥺😥😭 Great movie and love your reaction Miss Biss

[@mattblank9224]

I'm a big strong man, 2 metres tall, and I cry like a baby every time I watch this beautiful movie. Thank you so much for posting 😊 Jenny pushed Forrest away because she knew she was no good for him, yet cared for him deeply, just my opinion 🤔

[@atrevino90]

Such an amazing movie. I'm sorry to go there, but I do think you misunderstood Jenny a little bit, yes she is crazy, and yeah she did some horrible choices, but sometimes it's hard to make the right choice when wrong is all you have ever known, beginning with her father, and she knew that, which is why she stayed away from Forrest, she knew she would give his life for her and she did not want to drag him down that hole, but underneath all her bad choices there was a good heart and Forrest could see that, he always surrounded himself with people with a good heart, it's a little hard to be a Forrest to a Jenny, someone who has a pure heart but keeps making the wrong choices, hardly ever even apologizing for it, keeps pushing you away, but all she really needs is love, and as much as Forrest wants to give that to her, it won't be possible until she deals with her demons on her own and accept that she can be loved too. Which is what happens by the end of the movie

[@imdguin]

I love your laugh. Understanding (or at least knowing) U.S. history is pretty much required to really "get" this movie, but you did well. I see that I'm going to have to watch "Wednesday" with you ;) I can't wait

[@williamsummerson1204]

Loved the reaction Bisscute. This is one of the greatest films of all time and Tom Hanks was phenomenal.

[@StudioMod]

"It's an old movie, but it's good..." There's are the only kind of good movies, sweetheart. The back of cereal boxes in the 90s were more detailed and well thought out than modern films.

[@EnervatedSociety]

I've seen this movie so many times. 30-40 times, who knows. I used to watch my neighbors kid semi-often around the time this movie released on VHS and it's all that kid would watch. Over and over. All these years and memes later I can still admit it's a pretty good movie. There's nothing like it. That I know of. Another good (but sad) multi-award winning Tom Hanks movie (lots of memes too) is Cast Away.

[@orangewarm1]

Zemeckis movies are always good. He has a style but still his films are individualistic.

Wonderful reaction!! Here are some dramas that you would like: 'Dead Poets Society - 1989', 'Scent Of A Woman - 1992', 'Apollo 13 - 1995', A Walk In The Clouds - 1995', 'Sense And Sensibility - 1995', 'Braveheart - 1995', 'Gladiator - 2000', '300 - 2006'.

[@Tateorsomething]

Everyone quickly forgets that Forrest was running for over 3 years. Jenny had no way of contacting him. No cell phones in the 70s.

[@ST4MPLM4DB]

I loved this reaction and your thoughts are on point, possibly the best I've seen about this movie. I watched this movie for the first time when it released and I was just a kid, I didn't understand much some of the historical details tho it became one of my favorites, specially after watching it again while growing. Very Beautiful!!

[@BissFlix]

Thats really kind Thank you

[@ShreveportJoe]

Great film. I understand being angry with Jenny. But, as much pain as she caused Forrest, I don’t think she was malicious. Hurt people hurt people. Being damaged by her father from such a young age, she hated herself and had a death wish, a theme throughout the movie. She just felt unworthy of the love of a kind and pure soul like Forrest. Great reaction. You should react to “The Green Mile”, if you haven’t already seen it. I’m sure a lot of people have recommended it.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

i wish people would stop trashing jenny. you wouldn't have a romantic relationship with a retarded person either. how many retarded girlfriends or boyfriends have any of you had? well, jenny didn't want one either. give her break for being like everyone else. this is one case where the movie is better than the book. in the book forrest was a big strapping. blonde lil abner type. big on braun. not much on brains. among his adventures he was an astronut with a chimp named "sue." a movie producer runs into forrest and casts him in a tarzan movie co-starring raquel welch. and he was reunited with sue on the set of the movie. sue and forrest wreaked havoc on the set eventually tearing welch's clothes off and she runs naked down the street. the movie's much better than the book. but i must admit i wouldn't object to a raquel welch nude scene. thanks for the video.

[@ShreveportJoe]

Forrest Gump had a low IQ, but he was not “retarded”.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

@@ShreveportJoe ... yes, he was "functionally" retarded. he wasn't just stupid. he was developmentally retarded. i had a cousin like that. he could drive, he held jobs but he was what is known as a "high functioning" retarded person. that was the whole point of the movie. seeing the world, experiencing history through the eyes of an innocent. you tell me. would or could you fall in love with someone like forrest? you would have nothing in common. it'd be like falling in love with a perpetual 10 year old.

"Jesus Lord. Are we killing all the presidents, what the hell?!" gave me a chuckle lol.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

So many people who encountered Forrest had tragedies in their lives, makes me wonder if he's cursed.😄 Maybe he's like Domino from the X-Men and unintentionally takes all their luck for himself.

[@G_Demolished]

I used to hate Jenny too. But if you think about it, her father destroyed her ability to have a healthy relationship with men. She thought Forrest was too good for her, and that she only deserved men like her father. That’s why she was suicidal. At least it’s easier to think of her as damaged than evil.

[@BissFlix]

Yes I agree I go a little more into her character on my full lenght reaction on Patreon

[@mattfinleylive]

Oh well. I HATE Jenny. The kid is probably not even Forrest's. 'She heard he's a gazillionaire and wanted her bastard to have a better life.

[@peterpike]

@@mattfinleylive -- He's definitely Forrest's kid. That's why they show them sitting with the head at the same angle and all of that.

[@znk0r]

@@mattfinleylive clearly not, and for her chacter it's made quite clear from the start with her troubled past, her solution to everything is to run. This is why her advice to Forest was always "Run!". In her own life everything people got close she would run. For the same reason she almost killed herself. If you've seen Good Will Hunting it's quite similar but instead of push, it's run. At the end we see that she's sorted her life out, has what looks like a nice stable job and brought up a fine young boy. It saddens me to see people hating on a character that so well illustrates the issues people who have been abused have deal with.

[@mokane86]

​@@BissFlix i agree that Jenny is a broken person and at times not a good friend to Forest Of all her mistakes I think you take away too many points on her not responding to his many letters. I dont think she was ever home to receive them and were returned to sender because they really didnt reach her, not that she was actively ignoring them.

[@fjpapp7952]

"Sometimes there just ain't enough rocks." One of the best lines ever.

[@flarrfan]

She wasn't "running" like before...She was going off to make herself worthy and discover what it is to love. The child certainly helped. You understood the veterans' trauma, but you missed completely the different but comparable trauma she faced as a result of her childhood.

[@dookwan78]

Great react

[@nickthepeasant]

Yeah..wrong movie to take this challenge on 😝 For me, it's the moment after he discovers he's a dad and asks "Is he smart?"..just 😭😭 every time. (And so many reactors hate on Jenny, even the movie seems to have this little vein of casual misogyny running through it. She's suffered abuse and trauma so obvs going to make choices that hurt her but in the end she makes positive ones and raises a son - very little empathy or benefit of the doubt is shown to her until she marries Forrest..just bugs me).

Some people make Jenny out to be the villain in this movie. The truth is she was a victim of child abuse and it prevented her from ever finding peace, until she finally had a child herself and was able to accept true love. Her character arc is, to me, the most important in the movie.

[@Malfehzan]

Yep. We hear "run Forrest run" but, really, it's Jenny doing all the running away.

[@RandyNachoManSandwich]

Doesn't excuse her actions and not at least keeping in contact... in fact isn't the only time she came back to Forrest when she GOT AIDS??? Ur putting a nice Lil spin on it but broken ppl just break others.

[@omegashinra7672]

@@RandyNachoManSandwich You literally just said it yourself, she's a broken person. She was broken as a child through abuse and it shaped her entire life, she constantly tells Forrest to just run because that's the only way she knows how to deal with problems in her life or things she doesn't understand. You're both saying the same thing, and they weren't 'putting a spin on it', or do you always judge people based on them not acting how you think they should? Again, she's an absolutely broken person through no fault of her own.

[@RandyNachoManSandwich]

@@omegashinra7672 ppl can be broken and not put their issues on someone else. The way you present yourself to the world especially after going thru hardships like Jenny did makes you who you are. Truth is Jenny is weak, and repeatedly hurt a mentally challenged kid, and never had an arch of growth or change. She ran outta gas. And her engine blew. Then she came back to the tard that she now knows is rich, again only after being a single mother, ruining her life and getting aids. It doesn't matter what you've been thru. It matters how you come out the other side and how you treat others and yourself. Like I said "broken ppl break ppl" they don't have to tho.
