Over the years, I have gained much knowledge. I have also attained experience from the opportunities I have been involved in. A big part of me always wants to revisit past events. I often think about things that happened in the past. But sometimes doing that isn’t such a good thing. It can hurt the reality of what is going on in the here and now. There is a part of life that we have to move on from. This means leaving the past where it belongs, in the past.

I am a natural storyteller. I like to tell stories to bring perspective to how things were or once were. Part of me has wanted to believe we can return to the way things were. They will be better than they were back then. The harsh reality of the now is clear. I can’t accept how things are. I must move on. While change can be hard, sometimes it is for the best.

Letting go of the past to me is like erasing it from the history of what is. I can’t see it as a learning experience unless I didn’t see any advantage to it. I believe that people hold on to history and grudges. This happens when they are open to letting people have second chances. It also occurs when they are looking at things differently. I know that I have, and it has hurt me greatly. The only way to move ahead is to put the past where it belongs, in the past.

Things change sometimes. We must be willing to move ahead with them. It is necessary no matter how hard it is to do so. I have learned if I continued to hold the history I had to me it would continue to hurt me. It wasn’t always easy to see that sometimes the past hurt me more than I allowed myself to see. I eventually learned that what I thought was hurting me was helping me. I had to let go of what was and accept things for what they are.

We have to put our past feelings behind us. They only hurt us than they do good for us. I have had to let go of the fact that things from the past can come back. Things will be better. I have accepted that things change. I shouldn’t alter reality just to comfort myself. I need to face how things are conducted. I should find peace in acceptance. Things would go a lot better if I accepted reality. I should stop believing that things can be what I want them to be.

Learning to move on can be hard. Leaving the past where it belongs is also challenging. Nonetheless, it is something that makes things better. While you can learn from the past, it is also just as important to not dwell on it. Believing that things from the past will happen again will only hurt us. Adapting can be hard to do. But sometimes it is for the best.
