The Past's Pull

[donzieja]

It's always listening to you. It's ready to tug at your heart when you least expect it. People say to forget the past, and to move on. Meanwhile, time goes by while you contemplate the potential downfalls of letting things go. The past made you who you are. If one simply forgets it and moves on, and hops aboard the steadily moving life train, there will always be the subconscious urge to return to your special place, the one where you fit in, and belong. The place where you felt loved, and loved others. If you're a black and white thinker (such as myself), moderation is more than likely out of the question. The thing is, though, will pessimism be left behind as well? Does one always only carry their bad parts in order to remain the concept of "human"?

These are the lyrics of one of my favorite songs, which I feel can fit well in this post.

Seems like, you're hanging on to the past too long...

She's gone, time to move on, life is passing you by...

Close your eyes, say goodnight, it's time to say goodbye...

To, you.

Every time I hear that part of the song I remember my past and nearly break down crying.

Not that my past was bad, just that it was better than life now.

That's all I have for now.
