Only Way To Go Is FORWARD

I wasted years upon years, being stuck on the past.  Yet here I go again talking about the past lol. On a serious note, I’ve come to a realization.  Is it necessary for me to continuing going back there?  Yes and No.  Now I say yes because it is always important to remember who you are and where you came from.  BUT It comes to a certain extent where you can’t let that dictate the person you are today.  You should not be making decisions or choices based on your old self.  It’s all about evolving.  Its all about having a plan and setting it in motion.  Its easy to go the route and complain about what didn’t go right.  I see it differently. It’s ok to go back there.  Its okay to face it.  But if you are doing so to just complain about it then there is no point.  You will keep going back to that place over and over.  Now if you are willing to go back to that place and really take a deep dive?  What did I learn from this situation?  How did it affect me?  Am I still allowing it to affect me?

Now for me.  These are situations that I battled with daily.  My mind is constantly racing.  There are many battles that I won silently in my head.  Some situations, I had to learn how to forgive.  I took the deep dive and realized that life is full of obstacles, there is no point being stuck in one particular situation.  I learned that it made me either sad, mad or bitter.  Sometimes all three.  I really let said things affect me but when I take a longer deeper look into things, I realized that it made me numb.  Made me mask myself and my feelings and I held it all in.  Am I still allowing it to affect me?  No I do not allow it to affect me.  Sometimes the feelings come back and its a struggle (as it should be) but for the most part I have gotten over it.  The power of forgiving is all that it takes. Not only that but realizing that it turned me into a better person.  Which is why the only thing I can do is be grateful. 🙏
