I'd like to forget the past, and all the horrors and bad memories, and often times enough I simply do. But sometimes, I hold onto the worse of the worst so that when I look in the mirror, I can remember how I got where I am now. Thinking about the horrors of my past doesn't make me depressed or sad, it just makes me work harder to avoid experiencing such horrors in the future. It's the future, that I dread sometimes because the vast unknown can make me wonder if the choices I'm making will be the correct ones. And all I simply do is look in the mirror again, and realize that as long as I think about the potential outcomes at least I can prepare myself for what might come.
Lately though, I only dwell on the past when I'm looking for a specific question to ask myself. I know now that the key to unlocking true happiness is within myself and I just have to ask the right kind of questions so I can determine the answers that will set my mind and abilities free. Just recently, I've been unlocking the past and things are becoming so much clear.
