There's a reason why it's called the Past and things that are in there will always remain there. You are the Present and that's why you cannot stay in the Past. You can visit it but you cannot stay. There are happy things, there are sad things, but there is nothing you can change so stop dwelling in there. Think deep, don't sink - visit the past but do not let it trap you.

I've been away, I've grown. I'm different but I was not around. I was not there. I've been away, I've changed. I'm different, I'm stronger. I'm wiser... but I need to remember that nothing lasts forever. I need to remember to live in the now, for the now. You can plan for the future, but you cannot live in the Future when you belong in the Present. There are only 24 hours a day and there's no point using that up for the Future when it will come to you eventually.

Sometimes I wish it were this easy to accept things as they come, as they go. There are so many things in life I can close an eye to, many things I'd closed my eyes to. But this I don't know what I can do.

Happiness and sadness is overrated. I just want to be at peace with myself... then happy.
