Hi everyone!
Our lives are build up of memories from things that happened in the past. Some are good and some are bad. Some are happy and some are sad. But all of these experiences I believe is what makes us now.
There are things that's nice to remember and there are things we'd like to forget especially bad things that happened to us. But would you really choose to forget the bad things from your past? Do you think it would make you a better person if you forget about it and start a new life now? For those who have forgotten the bad things from the past - how did you do it? Do you think it's impossible to move on with the bad memories we still have?
Please do share!

I decided two years ago that I must stop thinking about the past and move on. I could only think about the past in a negative way so I decided not to think about it at all. I made plans to start a new life and looked to the future.
I spent a year having a wonderful time, living in the present, did something different every day. At the end of the year I found I had given myself a whole lot of new memories and adventures to think about.
Now I can look back and see the past in a more positive way. I feel I have achieved something by getting through the difficult times. I don't blame anyone for my past misery, nor do I blame myself, but I know now that I have the power to change and create whatever I want in life.
The past cannot hurt me now. I have moved on.

It's good you have overcome the past and moved on. I believe it takes a strong motivation to do it. Being positive and the desire to have a new life is the best way to overcome it.
I have also never blamed anyone for my past miseries. Everything in the past was a just a result of our own actions and we must learn to avoid doing the same mistakes again so as not to repeat history itself.
Have a good day!

I reckon to remember them.
We might even laugh at it some day, depending the situation.
Mistakes make you learn.

To be human means we have a lot of memories some will be good hopefully a lot of them and those we should choose to dwell on. To be human also means we have bad or hurtful memories those are to hopefully help us learn from mistakes we made and try to do better. Hopefully we will not dwell on them too much as they will bring back a lot of negative feeling, guilt, shame, scared feelings, humiliation all sorts of things that we do not need in our lives. I do not know how to forget about the bad things in my life but when I start to dwell on this things I can put them out of my mind and move on. We should not go through like blaming our past for the way we life now. People who do this are stuck in the past and do not seem to be able to let go they gnaw on it like a old bone and it makes them miserable.
