I spend way too much time dwelling on how things are. I should know that in this moment things are exactly as they are, but a moment from now this moment will be gone forever. It will have become only a memory. The past is indelible, but the mark of the past need not be.
While I am aware of the fact that I can't change the past, I also haven't been able to fully move forward. Letting go of the past, and liberating myself is not a state that I have yet achieved. I try to think about things the right way, but fully unburdening myself of the baggage is a success I have not achieved.
I know that I have made real progress in some ways. In others I see a long journey.
Letting go of the past is a path I will continue to walk.
Peace my friend.
Thanks for being.
