My past was so painful, sad and so heartbreaking. Yes I accepted that we can’t change it, but I can never ignore or forget it. I have learned so much from my past. It taught me not to trust and give too much and learn how to love yourself too. ~ Jane Villamiro
Living in the past, revisiting all the wrongs committed against you again & again. Learning from our past is a good thing, but we must continue to move forward otherwise, if we stay stuck in the past, it is like an unhealed wound that never heals. It becomes infected, oozes nasty stuff & perhaps even one day it might become life-threatening & need to be cut out like a cancer. We do have options, we just need to make good choices for ourselves, have more “resilience” & creating our new future. The past is called the past for a reason, learn what you need from it & move on. ~ ET Spice
If you can forgive, you can heal yourself. To forgive does not mean to forget. We live and learn and try not to repeat the mistakes of our past. Acceptance will set you free and allow you to be true to yourself. What I have learned is that I can be myself and continue to trust, love and, yes, give generously, for not to be able to do so would mean that my past controls me. I refuse to allow people who have harmed me in so many ways to change my very nature. I am true to who I am and I am happy. ~ Marjorie Blum
