A lot of people find it difficult to move forward because of their past. Their past has different stories, and it can make them feel stuck, confused, overwhelmed, and anxious.
We all have different stories to tell about our past. Some people find it easy to describe their past, while some just don't want anyone to get involved, not even a little. There are reasons why people feel so anxious and sensitive about their past. Sometimes, they fear that someone will create an opinion about their personality based on what their past looks like.
You just fear people criticizing you because you are already carrying those heavy emotions in your mind.
In this world, people can't seem to understand that your past doesn't define who you are today if you have made changes in your life. We can't completely erase or remove our past because it is a part of us. You can't remove a part of yourself without feeling incomplete. You learn to carry it slowly because you are the only one who truly knows how you went through all of it.
At times, it can make you feel uncomfortable when someone brings up your past. You may start thinking that you are the problem, but sometimes the problem is that they simply can't understand someone else's pain.
Someone who has been through a lot is already a strong person. People aren't always ready to accept that, and that's why they keep coming up with harsh jabs and taunts.
Learn to embrace yourself completely. Don't disgrace the parts of yourself that helped make you who you are. You can't get rid of your past because it has taught you a lot.
Don't live in the regret of your past while ruining your present, because your present will soon become your past, and eventually, you may end up ruining your future too. Then the cycle will keep going.
I apologize if I have overwhelmed you with this message. That was never my intention. I just wanted to remind you that your past is something you have been through, not something that decides your worth.
