I love the relevancy of this quote. It's extremely true and honestly; I've seen far too many examples of those living in the past throughout my life. So many people condemn themselves to a life of bitterness, sadness and depression by leaving themselves wedged in the past and honestly, it hurts to see. It hurts because no one can really help- except for the person themselves.
I personally have come to complete and unabridged terms with my past and everything that has happened in it. I have come to accept the fact the past can't be changed and have taken the sorrows from it as a valuable lesson... even something I can pass on to others to help them. Don't get me wrong, being able to look my own past in the face took me awhile too... but one day, something just clicked in me. It was the strangest feeling- just this clarity and forgiveness and acceptance. I went over everything at lightning speed in my mind and decided that day that I'd take my past and everything I'd learned and use it to help people- turning its once-looming negativity into the silver lining on a dark cloud. Since then, I've been very open with people about my own past, and I try to share my experiences both to give warning (and some relatability) to those around me. Nothing shapes your own future but you and your actions- and not being about to move forward from the future would certainly trap you. There's not much else I can say now; besides I hope that if you are living in the past... you find the clarity needed to break through. - Maddie
