Past

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space".

Why is it that sometimes we can let go of the things that stress us out and other times, even after the event has passed and we know that we can't change what it has come to, we continue to be stuck thinking about it?

"It is important to understand what makes us more likely to dwell on the past, considering the numerous negative consequences. Personality plays a role. Some people are more prone to rumination than others. Nearly everyone dwells in the past at some point, but some people do it more often and are more likely to get stuck in their thoughts". THIS IS ME!

Can I be a kid again?

Where did the years go? I look at kids now a days trying to grow up so fast but little do they know that adults wish to go back to the age they are now.

Can I go back to when everything in life was easy? all that I had to worry about was getting up in the morning and going to school and then coming back home and doing absolutely nothing. Everything was so easy, no heartbreaks, no headaches nothing to worry about. When I was a kid I used to think, that those who are adults have an awesome life. My mom wouldn't let me go anywhere alone. I wasn't allowed to eat much chocolate, Ice creams and almost everything I liked. When I was in high school, the feeling was great because I was starting to grow up and become my own woman. But from high school was really where all the life lessons started. 

This is the place where some people meet first loves, gain popularity and meet close friends. Some stick around throughout college and some end up turning into total bitches like some of my old close friends and branching off. In high school was where I met my best friend, and from reading my very first blog posts you guys know how that situation turned out. I want to go back to the times in life where everything was simply understood and answers came easy. But unfortunately we cannot always get what we want. Dwelling in the past just keeps us from moving forward and seeing the better things that life have to offer us. Throughout all of my blog posts this semester, you guys have read about my life stories of friendships, relationships, and more. Syncing back in the past with these old memories and stories made me miss out on what might been potentially better friendships and long lasting relationships. The moral of this blog is, If you're going through similar situations like I am to simply just build a bridge and move on. Sometimes we have to burn some memories and forget about the past so we can see the new things that are in front of us.
