Haunted By The Past


When we decide to move on, it seems to be so hard, but we do that 'cause it's almost the perfect choice. We choose to prevent any more cracks and fissures but sometimes the past keeps haunting us. It's the places that still hold those memories that were one day a pretty reality or even a beautiful lie, whatever. At least we thought then that we found real happiness. Regrettably, you may not always be able to move on as everything around keeps reminding  you of everything that was. However, the hardest part of that is when you see those people again after everything has changed. You became roughly strangers. Strangers that know each other very well. Strangers with countless memories. Such a coincidence makes you feel as if the past is tapping you on the shoulders. But, you gotta combat that as you mustn't step back whatever happens. What's past is past and all the scars that remained are there to remind you not to reiterate your mistakes. That's what scars are for. Scars dun fade away with time to preclude you from being stung twice not to cause you pain. Yeah , I know that it hurts how every graceful thing turned into a creepy nightmare. But, life isn't colorful all the time. It's full of ups and downs, and to taste happiness we gotta encounter pain. The thing is that without suffering there would be no compassion. Consequently, the moments when you cried are just the rain that precedes the rainbow. The darkness that's just before the dawn. Playing back memories is as oppressive as a heartbreak. Broken promises and goodbyes are what mostly remembered. Those best friends who became the ones you avoid to be in the same place with. Those people who decided to fade away. Sometimes people will find reasons to let you down and leave forever no matter how awesome you were together. Don't search for the reasons 'cause that won't fix it. Putting the pieces of a broken mirror together can never make it whole again. Remember that life is like a train, during our journey to our destination, some people will leave and others will join in every station the same as the stages of your life. Only few, like really few people will decide to complete the journey with you till you reach the last station. Some people may be forced to leave as those who pass away. And that's God's will. Actually, even those who leave intentionally are a part of God's plan for you. Both are heartbreaking since missing people is the thing that makes you attempt to forget about the past. Nevertheless, it hurts more to miss someone who has chosen to leave your life 'cause they dun want you to be a part of theirs anymore. Nonetheless, we should be stronger than we genuinely are. The past must be no more than a lesson. A lesson that's gonna help us through our current and coming days to make from them better ones. Thus , the most important thing is to learn from the past , do our best in the present , work for a better future and not to respond to the taps of the past 'cause we're not gonna travel back in time. WE'RE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK AGAIN!
