Flash Back…
To a time when everything felt so complicated and life seemed hell bent on breaking me down.
I haven’t been doing a lot of reminiscing lately but the other night I let the music take me back,
The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers staying safe and warm
You give me feelings that I adore
With every word Colbie Caillat uttered, I let my thoughts wander
and I stayed there cowering and letting the memories wash over me.
What’s it with we humans and pain anyways?
Why exactly do we look backwards instead of enjoying the now and focusing on the beautiful things that lie ahead?
I’m not sure but here’s to moving on and letting go of the past,
To revelling in the now,
And to the beauty of second chances.

Seems easier to hold on to the past cos of the fear of the future perhaps…
This post is what I need right now. Sigh.
I also think so too. the past is more familiar and we are always so comfortable with familiar things
I'm so glad this could help in its own little way gracey. Thank you for reading
Wow!! Cassie just wow!!! Feels like you knew what I needed beforehand
Aww, esther Thank You!! It makes me feel so warm inside when my random musings are this appreciated and can help someone
This photo is stunning and so are you words and the newfound revelation you've given acknowledgement to. I've had that conversation with a friend of mine before and what we came up with is that negative emotions are often heavier than positive ones, so you really feel it and its echo tends to resound, but I think as long as you aware of that fact, the echo gets quieter. Focusing on the now takes time and I'm still learning how to because nostalgia's for the birds. Why give so much energy to a murky past when there's a spotless future waiting to be painted by your present and your presence?
Sherida, you are so smart. I always love reading your comments because Ialways learn something new ( whether its a new way of expressing myself or a lesson), same goes for your blog posts.
I agree with you , I've noticed that sometimes i even kind of enjoy these negative emotions.Thank you for your kind words!

This is so beautiful. I love the picture as well.
You are right, a lot of us know that we should let go of the past but we find it hard to.
Here is to letting go and moving forward!
