Leave behind...

There is really no moment that you ever look back once you make the move to leave. Leave your home or leave a time in your memory bank. You just go and hopefully leave all kinds of things behind to start new. That's the beauty of leaving. It's really not that you don't absolutely love what you're leaving behind but you want to love what's in front of you, also. In fact, you already do. A new place, a new anything. It's sometimes hard because you kind of feel disloyal to the past but you're not. The past understands. The past was there for you for whatever you needed and desired. Now it's the future's turn to carry your baggage, burdens, dead weight as well as your warmth, smiles, and euphoria. Everything about what was once amazing will always be that. Amazing. The only thing is that what you once thought was so incredible is in a drawer or your closet or hidden in your many thoughts in the back of your mind. It's a strange feeling that takes over having a glance at the past because it was so meaningful and so forever, or at least at the time. You weren't wrong to feel this way. Everyone does or hopefully they will because it truly is a remarkable feeling. In spite of all of the everyday destruction that we endure, it doesn't matter because we have our thoughts and feelings that help us get better. Look forward to feeling so many new pleasures of the future because you want it to rival the past. It will always make for good competition and also great therapy for letting go. We lose things and people that mean our lives to us. We didn't lose them. They may have left us behind to find that rival. We can't understand because we feel as if we lost something but we'll experience being on the other side of the coin. It's always good to look back and feel what it was to be in that time but if your still here it's important to embark on that ever-so-popular "journey." The past loved, loves, or still is in love with you and you the same for it, but move forward and fall for the future. No regrets...
