I used to belong to a family unit, with a foster mom and dad and my little sister, Bean, but that's over and I don't want to talk about what happened , or how unfair it was. Not yet. The less said about that the better, because if there's one thing I learned from Ryter it's that you can't always be looking backward or something will hit you from the front. Rodman Philbrick
About This Quote

This quote speaks to the idea of looking forward. We can never go back, but we can make something new of our lives. If you say what happened in the past will happen again, you are bound to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. The less said about something, the less power it has.
