Letting go of the past is not easy. Each and everyone of us have made mistakes and done things that later on we look at and wonder why we made those choices. Our choices do not define our lives, how we handle the consequences is what truly matters. I will be the first to admit that I have made mistakes, done things I shouldn't have and hurt people that meant a lot to me. My actions or words made an impact on their lives and each of those moments is a growing opportunity whether you realize it or not. Everyone has done things in their past that they aren't proud off but the one thing I have learned while in recovery is living in the past will only poison your mind and will not heal you.
Moving on is hard because you think of the all the things you could've done to correct your behavior but in the end, you have to realize that sometimes it's always possible. It's a hard pill to swallow but you can't stay in the past and expect things to get better. Moving on doesn't mean you're forgetting what happened, it means you're accepting your actions and moving past the memories that hurt you. Letting go isn't always easy but it is something that you need to do in order to move on and deal with your actions. If you live in the past, you will never see what the present and future can bring you.
Letting go is hard, difficult, and sometimes you wonder if it's really worth it but let me ask this question. Is living in the past really what you want? Reliving memories will only bring you pain, regret, and cause you to feel down. Once you accept what happened and you are able to deal with the ramifications, you can only make things right by letting go of the things that hurt you, the moments you wish that didn't, and correcting your behavior. Living in the past will only bring you pain. Looking to the present and future will help you realize that it's okay to let go because in order to move on you have to let go.
This is not an easy blog to write but it is something that we all need to realize. Let go of things that hurt you and move on to bigger and better things that will help you grow and help you realize that hardships, painful memories, and things you went through may have tested you but you got through it.
