I'm sure late at night, usually before you go to bed you always turn around when you feel that poke on your shoulder, when you already know it's nothing but the past remind you its presence and marking its territory. When I talk about the past, that varies from person to person, cause haunting past comes in many forms. It could be a loved one, it could be a traumatic experience or a dream that never came true. Whatever the case is, close it! Let go.
I'm speaking from personal experience, I was so committed to looking at the past, that I forgot how to value the beauty of now. I would stay awake at night, drinking one cup of coffee after another, thinking how I would like to turn back time. Doesn't matter what happened then, the fact that it didn't exist anymore is all that should matter. If you can't change the past, why bother and risk your future? All you can keep is a lesson from it. That's pretty much why it haunts you, cause it's trying to tell you something.
So embrace how things evolved to how they are today and unchain both your heart and mind. Don't feed your inner ghosts. If you have something to say, say it! If you need to do something, do it! Do all of these now and then close the door behind you, lock it and walk into a new room.
The past does not exist, it has not physical substance but still it carries a huge weight. It brings people on their knees or slows them down from their lives, maybe cause they are too afraid to detach themselves from it. You already know the past belongs behind you, walk away from it and I can assure you that if you've learnt your lesson every step you take will ensure you that making that choice was wise
