I'm leaving the past behind me

Yes, the past is past and it cannot hurt you anymore if you will simply stop remembering it. Keep up the spirit and move on. I too, have been hurt by many in the past so i shut my mind from the past. I would avoid things that make me remember my past, much more of people who were part of the hurts i encountered before. Sometimes, it's unavoidable though, that the past would still flash in my mind. When that happens, i try diverting my mind to something that will keep me from remembering it more. I now live with the hope that mistakes in the past will never be repeated anymore.

Once I was very sad and I was searching online for "sad status".I found a great quote which instantly made me smile.It was something like this "Leave the past behind because It already left you alone". I think this is a great lesson of live in just so few words.The past is past and we should always think on tomorrow.

hello alex, We cannot leave the past,but we should lived with it and make it as an inspiration. The pain will give us courage to moved on and make us stronger. Some bad experiences gives us more lesson to learn and will give us challenge to make ourselves a better person . have a great weekend and welcome to mylot

Its very hard to forget one's past, But bad time makes one strong to face the world as you have mentioned yourself.I have also been through and still going on, as I am in internet love with some one , she is ignoring me, I have warned her twice of her behavior but now its enough for me, So Now I started ignoring her and made my motto of life to treat people the way they treat me. have a Nice day

Good for you, I hope you get much success now and enjoy the new life! I hope you will start your new life by doing new things too, it's a great way of leaving the past behind you, as often painful or just unwanted memories will be stuck the many hobbies and interests you used to have back then. Good luck and enjoy. =)

your past experiences is your teacher, you learned from them. its the way how life goes, you need to be hurt to discover your strength. and to discover your true friends and who loves you.

Hi alex, It is really difficult to behind the past and at the same time there is no point on worrying about our past. If you can leave the past behind you then it is really great and yon can lead a happy life at present. We can learn from the past and change the negative attitude which causes problems in our life. I do agree sometimes my past is haunting me but I can do nothing. Time will be a great healer for all the wounds in our heart.

Hi alex.. Nice to hear it from you that you have changed the directions of your life. We all are hurt less or more in past and thats the life and we need to face it. We cant stay away from it and as you have said that forgetting our past is not so easy. We can learn a lot from past and can apply it on today and judge what to do or not? remind it.. we have miles to go before we sleep. have a nice day.

You have taken absolutely the right decision in your life. Past is such a thing that bothers you a lot specially when our past is painful and full of hatred and insult in our life, I too have such experience in my Life, where i had lot of friends and close people but sooner i realized that some are just for the name sake of friend. Its really very difficult job to find a good and a truthful friend. When there is such a pain its really difficult for us to bear it. you may try to do anything just to remove the past but it really connects you to the situation when you try to forget it. My friend you have done the right job.. Thinking about the past is not going to fetch you anything but just bunch of worries and lack of sleep instead its better to forgot what is happened is happened.. The best option is not to look back but the see the bright future awaiting for us to shine.

Just get on with life one day at a time and if the past haunts you take it in your stride as it is not easy to forget what is etched in one's memory but you can handle it in a way that it will not adversely affect you.

Hi Alex! Great to hear that you already start a new life. But I hope you will not fully forget about it as you may take the lessons from what had happened to you as an experience so you will face the same problems again. Even if it's hurt us the most yet I am very sure that we could learn something from it. Don't give up and keep going on searching a better new life~

we are all in pain, especially when we always think of our love ones, but to see a person who's strong as you make me believe that some how, some where, there are people and there are places out there, by destiny, we can meet and visit to rejuvenate, give us peace of mind and help us to find a way to live the life that we deserve peacefully.

What's so annoying when we get hurt is that we lie to ourselves saying that "we are ok" even if we are not. We try to pretend that we are happy and show fake smiles. I guess we can only really move on if we accept what had happened and just go on. The pain won't go away easily but in time, things will be better.

we just cant turn our back from our past.our past can help us grow into a better person!:_

It is good to know that you are finally deciding to end that feeling of unhappiness and inadequacy. And it is good to know that you are finally trying to move on with life. It is easy to overlook the hurt that other people inflict upon us because as much as possible we wanted to avoid arguments and conflict. I myself have tried to do that. But somehow at some point we get fed up with other people's abuses. And so we learn.. to stand up for our selves and assert our right. Just continue to be strong for yourself. There are far more struggles ahead and you need all life's lessons so that you can withstand them. God bless!
