All that clinging on to the past will do is tire you out! The past is just that past and we all have to move on. Of course, we move forward with memories but take only the positive ones with you. All through our days we learn from what we partake of, we grow because of this learning and we become wiser and stronger due to what we go through. Look back at the past with wonder and at times gratitude for both the good and the difficult. The good makes you smile, the difficult makes you greater. Do not cling to the past, let go, let the harshness of some lessons slip through your memories to be replaced by the beauty of memories that make you feel the joy of being alive.
