To Infinity & Beyond

I’ve said it many times, we all have gone through hard situations in life; situations we would much rather forget, leave in the past. And trust me, we try, very hard. But sometimes we have such trouble letting go, moving on, that we hold on to things for way to long, and let those things eat at us, cause anxiety, and affect our life and our happiness. Today, I wanted to talk about moving on, about leaving the past where it belongs, in the past, behind us. I find myself in this conundrum right now; I want nothing more than to move on, to forget and to carry on with my life and our life, together. But I keep asking the question, how do I exactly do it? Is it time what I need? Is time the best friend of the future and the antidote to the past? If so, then we go back to patience; something I asked for so long; exactly what got me through everything and kept me strong. But as I’ve said before, time takes time and we are impatient by nature, we want instant results.

But I know that in the end, it’ll all be OK. That I will move on from all my daemons and that we will move on to the future and away from the past. Every day that goes by I see progress, forward progress, that is. Through communication and after all, love, we should continue to get stronger and continue to grow together, towards that future. I know I have to continue to be patient, and let time help me, and us, to move on. I know that it is our pasts that define who we are today, but that does not mean we should carry it with us. We have to use our pasts, when troubling and hurting, as examples of what not to do, as examples of who we don’t want to be, and use that to become the person we truly want to become. Know that dwelling on the past only prevents you from spending time in the present and planning for the future.

Don’t become a slave to your past. Control your thoughts and your emotions, clear your mind of bad memories; memories that remind you of who you don’t want to be. All they will do is stress you and make you stagnate in life. I know I need to look forward and not backwards, look at the future and not dwell on what happened in the past; there is nothing I can do about it now. Life is hard, life a bitch in fact, but we are much stronger than we believe ourselves to be. It is in situations like these that we must be mentally strong, and have enough will power to control our subconscious and don’t let it control us. We are the only ones in control of our thoughts and our emotions, our feelings. Have faith and believe in the future, and in yourself. Understand that a bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you fail to make the turn. Always remember this; may your past be the ground on which you stand and walk on today. Leave your past, close the door, and move on.
