I always feel that I need to "deal" with things

But, do I?

What if I just accept that certain things happened, and choose to never think about them again? Afterall, they are not happening anymore

Not right now, or ever. I have built my own life. I am safe.

Is it okay to just appreciate it all no longer a part of my life, stop being angry about it. Push it away when it comes into my head. Stop being a victim.

I don't want to be a victim. It's disgusting.

Thinking about stuff isn't really an active thing that people choose to do... but obviously, getting to a point where you don't think about it is ideal anyway.

@BlueVeins true! I guess I should have wrote, "accepting it's okay to stop thinking about it", like push it away when it happens. I have to do this a lot, but with some of the more traumatic stuff I get instant anger or sickening feeling which makes it hard to push away, then I feel like I need to resolve it somehow. But I think it might be okay to just push it away when it happens. By reasoning with myself that it's no longer happening and I am in control now
