Don't Read This

Feeling: contemplative
I warned you not to read this. I believe we dwell too much in the past. I know that at least I do. Reliving old moments, hoping that someday I'll have as much fun as I did then. It's good to remember the past, those who do not are damned to repeat it. We have to learn from our mistakes, not forget them and make them anew. We also have to learn to live with regrets. It sucks, but rarely there's nothing to do about them. I'm happy for those people who think they don't have any. But for the rest of the world, they're an inevitable piece of our lives. "I wish I had done this", or "I shoulda done that", it all comes back to bite us in the ass. We just have to bite back, harder. I try to not have any regrets, but it's so damn hard being myself, and doing what I want to do without changing who I am or what people think of me. I worked to fucking hard to be who I am and I'll be damned if I become one of "those" people. Yep... I think my rant's done now. How's that for something to think about? I know I never stop thinking about it. Or just thinking in general. I've decided not to go for the labotomy and just be a mindless vegetable with no problems thinking, regreting, and wishing you could do something about it. A permanent drool-fest would not be for me. I like thinking. It makes me a human being to feel these things. I'm gonna keep feeling them and like it gosh darn it. Good times.

Personally it is my opinion that people who live inthe past trying to relive it miss out on the present. Yes the past was great(or not so great) but you have to keep forging on and you will see that the present and future hold just as much promise as the past had. Plus you're older and can do more. So get out there!!!!

And yes we all work hard to be an individual but sometimes there are things you have to sacrifice, at least while in public at work, to achieve the things you want. Otherwise you end up a loser with nothing to show for your existence. It doesn't mean you have to conform entirely. Do really think that I have?

In recovery I learned that putting the past behind you is a good thing, but ignoring it is another.
