Wait, what?
Well, yeah. Usually past is familiar with the embarrassing, or often bad things that have happened in our life. And sometimes, people use their "dark past" to be their reason for not moving on, or even running from reality.
"I've had a terrible past and it's starting to destroy my present."
"I've had a horrible past that makes me feel guilty everyday."
"I can't do it because my past still hurts me."
Hey, everyone's experienced their bad times. Everyone's struggled it on their own way: some chose to run, some chose to be desperate, and some chose to face it.
Sometimes people misunderstand about the meaning of running from and moving on. When you are running from your problem, you are lose already. Running from your past--means that you just throw away your responsibility to fight it. Your fear is bigger than your faith. Meanwhile, moving on, for me is how you finish your problems, and take some lessons from it, so it won't be happened anymore in the future. Moving on doesn't mean to run and forget everything that hurt you in the past, it's how you learn from the past and keep moving to your future.
You know, everyone has had their darkest time. Some tried to hide it, some tried to share it to the people they believe, and some tried to do their best to not make anyone feel the same way. Sometimes when I give some advice to people who's desperate, anxious, about their past--about how they should not give up with the conditions, about how they should be thankful, about how they should wake up from the nightmares that they've experienced... they feel like I--we, don't understand what they're facing.
Sure. Sure I don't know what kind of level that you're facing. I don't know how hard you are struggling. But, hey, WAKE UP. This is life. Sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's good. Sometimes our plans works, and sometimes not. This is life, guys. This is reality. If you don't wake up from your desperation, if you just stick here with your past, will that change your future? Will that make any good effects for you later? NOPE.
Stop complaining about your past. Learn from it. Past isn't always bad. Past is your media to you to be success. Past won't ever disturb your way to your future as long as you learn, as long as you move on.
The past doesn't always contain the bad things. There are some good things called with beautiful memories. My good friend--my superman, ever said that sometimes, when you're trying to move on, you don't have to forget everything in the past. Not everything in the past is bad. There are also some memories that will make you smile when you remember it in the future.
And guess what, I think he's right. He's also my unforgettable past. My good memory. A memory that I won't be able to erase forever.
So, dear readers. Maybe I don't know enough about you. But remember, don't give up. Don't be stuck in the past. It will make you move slower, or even it won't make you move at all. This is life. Life always goes on. Just imagine this life as a jet-coaster: sometimes you're up, and sometimes you're down. If you enjoy it, you'll feel the excitement of the thrilling tracks. Those creepy tracks, loops, is a fun for you. Just face it. In the end, you won't feel any regrets. The past will just pass along with our steps to the present and future. Live your life, be yourself, enjoy it. Don't make it any burden for you, so whenever you feel like want to open the previous pages, you'll open it with a smile.
Moving on, don't give up.
