So people say moving forward, to move on, is the hardest part. But moving forward is the easy part. Next thing you know days go by, months go by and then years. Time doesn't stop for us, no matter what we're going through. We move forward without having to do anything. The hard part is not looking back. At what point do we stop looking back at something that's not there anymore? Or even worse, something that you're not sure even existed. How do we learn not to look back?
And if/when we get to the point when we can tell ourselves that we've moved on, did we really move on or did we just learn how to live with it? We might never be able to figure out the answers to these questions, but these are questions we should ask ourselves.
What we don't want to happen, is to be holding on to something for years to come. It's fine to hold on to happy memories, but the tricky part is to know the difference between memories and the reality of letting go of the past. Amy xo
Although I do not know the answers to your questions, I do know that the key is not to stop living your life. Why is it that we tend to stop living our lives when holding on to the past. Keep on living, create new memories and past will just become the past.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Amy! You made a great point - "And if/when we get to the point when we can tell ourselves that we've moved on, did we really move on or did we just learn how to live with it?". I believe if you continue living each day for yourself...the rest will figure itself out. xoxoxo
