Sometimes people just need to let go of the past because if you think about it, isn't that 1/2 the reason why people give up? Or don't pursue their dreams? Because something in the past is making them hold onto that fear. The other half is fear of rejection. Fear of rejection makes people afraid to try new things. You know what? THE PAST IS NOT THE SAME AS THE PRESENT!!! Let go for crying out loud! God why is it so hard sometimes to forget about the things that we did wrong? It's hard sometimes because the brain mostly remembers the times that are connected to some kind of emotion. That's why. But really, if you think about it this way, it's just a moment. Sure, you might have been embarrassed but you have to think... "Is that time really more important than the rest of my memories???" If you get anything out from reading this remember to lose your fear of rejection. It's the only thing keeping you from reaching your full potential.
Sorry if this is not what you were quite expecting, a poem. I have just been feeling that a lot of people out there need to hear something like this. Everyone around me, everyone I know is afraid to do something, to ask something, to be someone.
You have potential to do anything, be anything you want. Stay exquisite.
