Talking To My Soul

Moving forward

Today I was amazed that I found an old friend from my childhood. I won't embarrass them by naming them , however I was so pleased to be reacquainted with them and be able to call them friend again. I was a little surprised that they had not become who I thought they would have. I had known this person from so long ago and I still see them as that child. Cleverer than I was better at sport . I was always second best. In reality I was probably second best to most of my friends. Well I was never very confident about myself and to be honest that was my biggest problem. As time went by I learnt to be myself and I was happy with that. My friend from the past has given me some memories to look back on. Not all good then again not all bad. My biggest memory of him was riding what they called a tricycle push bike and disappearing down a hole. He was fine but at the time it was so funny. Not everything we look back on fills us with joy, sometimes it very painful to bring memories back from the past . It's better to leave those memories in the past , or until we are ready to unravel them.
My life is full of moments that I don't look at. Some are so well hidden I don't even remember them happening. I find that life makes its own time for us to face those problems. When the time is right we open up like a book and work out our life. If you feel you never want to revisit these places then that's fine to. Your life is full of choices , no choice is ever set in stone. If you are brave enough of feel ready then the time will come to you. I have learnt to deal with my life in this way. Some cans of worms I have opened others remain closed. My decision on which I open is within my power. A great way to deal with these memories.
The best thing is that the past are only ever a memories they cannot harm us in any way. In fact only we can bring the past into the now by talking about it. The past can only take into your future by you . So choose either to deal with it or leave it and move on with your life. Our memories only help us to learn from the experiences not to keep living them. Move on remember only the memories that make you smile . Take these with you tomorrow and leave what's left in the past
