Our past is what our future is shaped of. one can not pretend to just let go of the past and start a new life. The events, the choices made, the people who affected you one way or another, were all part of a masterplan that made you who you are today.
That's what I believe. Sometimes, I tell myself I'd go back and stop some things from happening. But then, I'd be spending so much time looking back and fixing what went wrong, I wouldn't live much...No, I'd rather live my life with no regrets like I always say. Why? Think about the energy you're wasting?! Obviously you can't go back so I say, let it go.
What do I mean by letting go....This tendency we have to hold on to people or things that are part of our past. What I like to do is evaluate. So, that teddy bear I've had since I was little, is it stopping me from evolving? Live the life I want? Nope, so I guess if I desperatly want to hold on to it it's ok. My ex I badly wanted to be friends with but who kept playing mind games, who always seemed to show up when I'd be moving on...obstacle so goodbye. pretty simple. And, no regrets! Looking on the bright side: If I was better off without that jerk as a boyfriend, I'm probably better off without him as a friend as well.
It's never easy to let go, break the ties but sometimes it has to be done. sometime life takes care of it for us...in a way, 'cause does it? Really? If you move out of your present location, let's say very far, like a different country and lose contact with your friends, you could say life took care of that. But there was a reason you moved out...you made a choice.
On choices, we ALWAYS have a choice. I mean ALWAYS, I'd never believe anything else. Saying we did not have a choice is an excuse. Say a homeless woman steals some bread to feed her son. She gets caught...she can't say she didn't have a choice. I'm not talking about shelters or anything like that let's pretend they don't exist. Her basic and pretty much only choice would've been to let her son die from hunger OR steal food. She chose the latter which pretty much anyone would say was the right CHOICE!!! Because she HAD a choice. A decision to make. And every decision, every action (even choosing not to do anything is an action) has a consequence, a reaction.
Anyhow, make your choices in life, live it fully and don't let anything stop you. What is, sometimes, isn't as important as what once was, but they should both be considered through out your life. And when you have to...don't be afraid to let go!
