Forget about it, move on!

I had the most inspiring conversation with a guy who drove me from the car repair shop. I sometimes dread inevitable conversations with strangers because they feel forced and every silence turns into a frantic search for another topic, but we actually had a good conversation. His advice: “you’re young, you’re intelligent. Deal with it, just forget it happened, and move on. Don’t let this cripple you for the rest of your life!”. He was referring to my last rental car traumatic experience, but the way he said it, I imagined he would have said the same to me about other life happenings.
