“Hatred of an experience means said experience still holds a degree of emotional control over you. Hatred must be let go of through acceptance, forgiveness, and patience. Never, at any point, should one confuse acceptance with liking or loving a negative experience. If you wish to love yourself you must make peace with those experiences that made you who you are. Some will be negative, of course. That is true for all people, but if you allow such experiences to control you so much as to make you hate them, you can never move forward. You can never fully love yourself if there is hatred in your heart.” — Unknown
