Memory is a Gift and a Curse.
Huamns are all sentimental creatures. We like to look back in our lives once in awhile.
Some people choose to keep looking back at the bad memories. That certain moment in time where you failed. It's great how some people can pick themselves up from there and move on. Look back at the mistakes, and move on! Yet, how many can break free from that bad experience so fast. We regret, we blame, we get upset. Then wallow in self-pity. In the meantime, the rest of the world move on with life.
They say, you should only look back to see how far ahead you've moved.
Others choose the more optimistic side of life. It can be great to relive certain points of your life that took your breath away. Yet, it turns into retrograde when we choose to live in that past and keep looking back. Dwelling in the past. You keep thinking about what has happened and missed out what is happening right now.
You keep looking at the pretty pictures of the past and missed out on the beauty of the present. Again, you can't move on.
I spent 2 years struggling with the former. But I've learnt to let go. The latter................. OH WELLS.
