(no subject)
This morning began with a conversation about events in the past, not my past, just the past. Things were said that hadn't before been said. I learned somethings that I didn't know, didn't know about him. Regardless...
The past is in the past. Can't be changed or altered. It can however be transformed into some great learning experience in retrospect, though I wouldn't recommend it.
I learned something today. Something that I hadn't been able to understand until this morning...to forget the past. I have always held onto the things that have transpired in my life. Held on to them with white knuckles as if they were the fabric of my being. But for what? Seriously, it's those things that have shaped my life, yes, but life is what it is. Things happen and then things change. But there is only one "now". I am not saying we all should go out and live each day like our last. I just think that when opportunities come, we should always consider options, however new and frightening they may seem.
To know all about what you are, but know nothing of your past frightens me.
These events may have had their impact on the "now", but have moved beyond that into a place where it doesn't really matter.
I will turn my back on my past now. I have for the most part thrown away the pictures, the journals, the trinkets. I mean really turn away. Start fresh. Burn the memories.
I feel really good about this, and yet I can't explain to you what it is that I am trying so hard to share.
