I think we are always learning from our experiences and interactions. I try not to “carry” the negative things that happen around, and instead treat them like learning opportunities. I have learned to let go of the hurt feelings to make room for the lesson that I needed to learn from the experience. I have been practicing how to be reflective in uncomfortable situations rather than defensive. I am better at recognizing my mistakes, apologizing, and making changes for the better than I used to be.

Your words are so fill of wisdom. I guess we could all be better off if we could keep the negative things from eating at us.
Yes 13 pounds.
I was bitten at the base of my thumb (teeth marks will remain forever) all the way down to the bone. I have been through physical therapy but I’m in pain to grab anything or lift anything using that thumb. My workman’s comp doctor wanted to close my case and my physical therapist gave me “suggestions” to not go back to him but get a 2nd opinion. He told me that the joint is locked and can’t be “unlocked” unless I have surgery to cut whatever to make my thumb work again. In the meantime, I’m in pain using that area for anything, including driving.

It is so easy to ignore those pesky, hurtful thoughts, actions, and words of admin, coworkers, students, and parents. But then at the most unexpected moment-BOOM! We are swept back into the feelings and hurt. I find that journaling or talking about it to someone I can trust helps.
