The Present is a Gift

Everyone in this world has a past, and more often we spend more time focusing on it other than embrace the gift of the present. In relationships, when the past is brought back to haunt you then we know it was never forgiven at all, this is the reason why it fills your eyes with so much tears that you can't look into a bright future. It has been said a lot that you should never look at the past unless you want to go there because whatever happened back then, has shaped who you are now.

I have made mistakes and bad decisions in the past in regards to relationships which still haunt me now. The past always has a way of creeping up to you and affect the present. How I deal with it, I don't! It's something that's always being held against me in any case. No one can change the past and continuously bringing the past to the present affects the future of any relationship.

Most of us have had arguments with our partners and most of the times the argument was based on a past event which was supposedly forgiven. Bringing back the past is one of those things that make you relive the hurt, the broken trust, jealousy, hate, pain and all the emotions that you had when the 'past' happened. I feel like constantly apologising for the past. I so wish that the past could stay were it belongs; in the past. STOP visiting me. You're not welcome in my present or my future.

It might be hard to let go or stop the hurt, but moving on is the way to embrace the present and look towards the future.
