Monica
Lewinsky
is
making
her
past
something
to
be
proud
of.
The
former
White
House
intern,
whose
affair
with
President
Bill
Clinton
in
the
mid-‘90s
became
a
global
scandal
and
played
a
major
role
in
his
1998
impeachment
trial,
recently
shared
why
she
commemorates
the
anniversary
of
the
day
she
was
seized
by
FBI
agents
in
1997.
In
fact,
the
51-year-old
shared
that
she
and
her
family
refer
to
Jan.
16
as
“Survivor’s
Day.”
“That
was
the
worst
day
of
my
life
thus
far,”
Lewinsky—who
was
just
24
years
old
at
the
time
of
the
scandal
while
Clinton
was
51—explained
in
an
interview
with
Rolling
Stone
published
Feb.
14.
“It’s
connecting
to
that,
but
in
a
way
that
brings
it
back
to
myself.”
But
the
annual
commemoration
doesn’t
have
a
somber
tone.
“We
celebrate,”
Lewinsky
continued.
“Sometimes
my
mom
buys
me
a
gift
or
I
buy
myself
a
gift,
and
just
make
a
moment
of
really
acknowledging.
That’s
when
I
connect
to
my
past
the
most.”
