The Past

When the past rings the doorbell or knocks on your front door, do you answer it or just leave it closed? If you open the door it will probably make the things you do not want to see of your past visible, but will also give you understanding to why the past is truly the past. However leaving the door closed may be you just shutting all thoughts of the past out or what no longer is apart of your life. Maybe you do not want to invite those memories or people of the past back in your life because they don't deserve to be there, or you no longer want them there. The truth is we can't change what happened, the past is the past. We can however make ourselves more aware so that the future can in turn take a different direction. My past is something that I do not want in my future, he broke my heart and wasn't the best man for me. Although the doorbell is louder than ever and the knocks on my door haven't went away, it gets easier day by day. Sometimes it's hard because you want to know what those knocks mean and why they are continuous without end, but it is also better to just take the lesson as learned. Move forward but make sure that you face the past and realize it for what its worth, because you can't truly move forward until you accept the past completely. I can allow my past to be a friend nothing less and nothing more because I have accepted it for what it is worth. I also know that my future is going to have a better story line than that of the past and I have something to look forward to. One thing is for sure I will love my past for the rest of my life, for it made me a better person and a woman who is truly knowing of her worth now more so than ever.
