“Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.”
-Rafiki in The Lion King
Happy Wednesday dears!! I hope everyone has enjoyed their week thus far. I went back to work today after being back home for the last week. That’s part of the reason I needed to use this quote this week…
I was sent this quote when I was a freshman in college, shortly after my breakup with Andy. It was so relevant at my life then I wrote in on a post-it and stuck it on my desk. Every time I go home this quote becomes relevant to my life. Wisconsin has started to become part of my past. I have so much history there and so many memories- which is great- but at some point in my life I have to realize that the past needs to stay in the past. This may be the hardest part of my journey because I’m constantly trying to pull my past into my future. I have not fully learned from my past apparently- because I go home and make the same mistakes all over again- and I fully enjoy them. That’s my problem. I only see the problem because I feel it should be a problem or because people tell me it is- but I enjoy the choices I make even though I know there’s a high chance I’m going to end up hurt.
I’m working on learning from my past/mistakes but sometimes that takes a little work…but here’s to trying and a better and happier tomorrow.
