I don’t know who Darnella Ford is or was, she said: Nothing can drive one closer to his own insanity than a haunting memory refusing it’s own death. That’s not a happy quote but reminded me of another quote about letting go of your mistakes (and others’ mistakes).

Forgive yourself, forgive others. Don’t dig up old grievances. Realize that others are capable of change.
