Something New
I'd like to thank everyone who put their heart and soul into replying to my last entry. It made me feel special. The reason for my previous query was because it seemed that alot of people around me nowadays are having problems either with letting go of something or someone, or someone is having trouble letting go of them. I'm not going to separate myself from this group. Everyone who knows me knows that I have this problem. It takes alot for me to kick someone out of my mind. And once it does happen, a slight mention of them will get me thinking about them again for at least a week. I know I'm not alone. Many have put themselves through their own personal grinder, analyzing and analyzing the situation before they finally can have peace. You all know who you are.
Anywho, I had a conversation with a good friend about living without regret. In my opinion, living without regret and the ability to let go of things easily come hand-in-hand. In fact, one of the definitions of regret reads "a sense of loss and longing for someone or something gone". It was a great conversation, and I wish that I could eloquently explain what he said, but unfortunately, my brain doesn't function as well as it once did. All I know is that it made me change the way I think about things, and I feel much better about the future. Basically, he told me "Forget the past, or forget the future"; meaning clear your head of the mistakes of the past, and use that clear head to make good decisions in the future. I like that concept.
