Shadowed Steps Through The Past

Shadowed Steps Through The Past

We are often trapped in a world full of our own nightmares and phantasms. Everywhere we look there is something that reminds us of our greatest nightmare, that our past is indeed real. No matter how hard we try to fight it, we sometimes can't stop it from coming back to life. We awake in the night, only to see our past failures and disappointments come to life. Should we bother fighting back, or should we just give in, dwelling on what might have happened had we done things differently? We can't sit here and not do anything. We have to fight back and control all of those bad and fading memories from resurfacing.

All of us have a past. A lot of our pasts aren't worth remembering. Some of the past had a moment of promise here and there, but there is a reason why it is your past and not your current situation. What you have lived through is something that will always haunt you. Yes, that is right. You won't escape what used to be. It will constantly eat away at your heart and soul each day you are alive. What you have to do is fight it. Each day, grab ahold of the reins, and say that you are a new and beautiful creature, and in the past you were just a shadow of your former self, someone weaker. Focus on what you have you now, and what is good you will surly keep. You don't have to give in. Life begins where another one ends, as I say all the time.



What you had before is not with you now for a reason. Whether it be people, jobs, houses, cars, or whatever, there is a reason that it is gone. It's best not to believe it is your fault. Nothing you ever do is really your fault. Many people believe that our life's events are not ever by chance. What this means, I truly do not know the answer, but you must admit that sometimes, life seems to play out in a linear fashion like a row of dominoes falling. Wherever these dominoes end at, I hope that you are ready for the chain effect that they triggered.

The past makes you who you are. It's not worth remembering, but it's also not worth forgetting. Don't ever deny that it wasn't real. Some day, you'll look back at it all, and be glad that it all stayed in the past. What satisfies us now wasn't the same in the past. Whether you fight it or not, you are not the same person that you were back then. Don't throw away your future so you can dwell on the past. Living within fading memories is exactly that. There is just no way that you can turn back time. In fact, don't even bother trying to. You're a great person, and don't ever believe otherwise. I love you, and on this Monday morning, I want you to know you mean everything to me. Ciao!
