I am in control, and yet, not in control. I blame, or explain, a lot of me now by my past, as I believe how you were raised affects you now. By denying your past had a part in your present, you're saying that there is no such thing as environmental effects.

That's not to say one should dwell, and I do tend to do a lot of that. I suffer from a lack of self-esteem (which leads to things like eating disorders), BUT I am in control of that.

All that being said- I have very little control of my feelings, but I do have more control than say, the husband screaming at his wife or the psycho that shoots up an entire school. Not saying much, eh?
