Forgetting the things that have hurt you in the past has always been difficult. Sometimes you’ll never be able to forget. The things of your past make you who you are and it took me a long while to figure that out.
There was no such thing as ‘normal’. Everyone is a little messed up in their own way. It just turned out I was a little more messed up and complicated than most. It took me some time to realize that and accept myself for who I was. And when I did, it was then that I fought for others to accept me as well.
Nothing is ever promised in life. The relationship between Declan and I could last a few months before we decided we just weren’t a good fit together, or it could be years, or what we were could be the real deal. Whatever it was, we were taking it a day at a time.
The same went for Livvy and the twins.
In time, I would gather the courage to tell them about my past but for the time being I was content with just Declan knowing.
They said that your past didn’t make you, but really it does. Who we were present day is because of the choices we made in our past.
Roman just turned out to be a bad one for me.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget Roman, no matter how much I wish I could. He will always be a part of my life that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget. And just like everything else in my life, I had to learn to accept that forgetting Roman will be a difficult thing that will take time.
