Amanda Knox

acknowledging and accepting that this is the life that they are living and when you are acting in the world as if you are living the life that you should have lived you are inevitably becoming ineffective

Like if I were to approach the world and be like, my prosecutor never should have done this to me and and my I never should have gone to prison and people should never should have villainized me in the press. I would just find myself debilitated, utterly debilitated by the fact that reality is other than that. And I would just find myself angry and and and and bitter about it all.

And instead I go, well, all of that happened. Now what? And by accepting reality and life as it is, I can now become a more effective agent in my life. I don't want to live my life acting and feeling and thinking in ways that are not going to be effective. And so instead, what happens and the radical acceptance of it all is truly coming from a place of, I'm not trying to be Christian about it.

I feel like I weirdly had a midlife crisis when I was 20 because my entire life fell apart or I was on I was I was put on this this track, this train that just like left the station and was going on its own. And there was really nothing I could do to stop it. And so, OK, now what?
