Moving On With Life

So, there are a few different schools of thought on this idea. There is the idea that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, and there is also the idea that in order to move on with life you need to let go of the past. Heeeyyy, those aren't two two different schools of thought, they are each their own thoughts. One says forget and the other says let go. I firmly believe that the past is the past, you can't change it no matter how hard you try. There is a very big difference between forgetting and letting go. If something really bad happened to you in your past you really can't just forget it, and forgetting is not what letting go is all about anyways. Letting go is an active decision you need to make, sometimes more than once. If you have something in your past that either you did or someone did to you it is YOUR decision how long you will let it tear at you. While you may not be able to forget it you CAN decide to not let it control you, YOU are the only person that has that power. Isn't it great to be in charge of your own thoughtrs and feelings! This brings us around to another thought, or quote, or cliche, (or whatever you want to refer to them as!). "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." How do YOU want to live your life, remember, it's all up to you.

Until then...
