They say past is the best teacher, you know your mistakes and try not to repeat the same in the future. They also say that who can not recall his/her past is doomed to live it again. But what about when the past becomes one with the present, past is in front of you, takes you out from the road and forbids you to move forwards? What about when you can not leave the past in the past and you still hold on moments that happened in the past and will never come back?
What is the ''past''? Are the people who left us; gone from our life. People who did not bother explaining, who left you a budge of memories to remember. They are those who for some reason can not be in your life anymore and their absence is the most painful of all. They are those friends who you believed they will be forever next to you and ''the forever'' was only for few years. Is the relationship that you are now looking for, the moments, the words, the mistakes, the actions that you have never done, the actions that you have done and now you regret. This is the past.
An image, a place, a bench, maybe even a room. These only take to surface thousand of memories, reminding you moments that have past and will never come back.These few things that people mark on you and they are part of the past now. The love song which you were listening with your supposed to be love of your life and now is not anymore and you can't bare listen. Because is a cruel reminding that he/she has gone and will never come back.
How many times have you caught your self dreaming, being nostalgic, in pain, trying to forget and can't, trying to move on but still looking for people who have gone? How many times have you caught your self burning inside because the past won't come back, but even if it does it won't be the same again?
Time goes by forward, not backwards. Don't live in the past and stop looking for it. Some people belong in the past and should stay for ever there. Leave from what ever belongs to the past. Look for the new and build new memories. Give your self the chance to live the present because the past keeps you back. When you move forwards you should and must be determined and don't hold on things that will never come back.
Be careful, it only takes a small window to stay open from the past to intrude in your life again. Past is treacherous with a weird sense of humor. You may start a new beginning, then boom: in front of you again reminding you that is not over and you have to deal with it.
Don't let it eat you; burn it; dance on its ashes and let it go with the wind. Don't let it depth; just keep two smiles, two jokes, two breathtaking moments. Two moments that worth keeping in the time and for ever with you. Keep those moments that you taught you something, made you a better human being. Keep these few things to remember, put everything in a bag and move only forwards. The rest in the trash.You never know what you will find in your path.
Love. Flower Girl. x
