Putting the past behind you & looking forward

There have been many times in life when bad or negative things have happened, and I haven't handled them well. We are all human and we all make mistakes - I'm still young and learning who it is I want to be. I think that it's not necessarily our actions that define the type of people we are, instead it's the way in which we handle those wrong-doings, whether we have made them or someone has done wrong to us.

We have choices. We can dwell on situations, feel wronged, replay different possible scenario's in our head until quite frankly we become exhausted. Or we can allow ourselves the time to digest what has happened, but then move on. Things, moments, people do not last forever. Change really is the only constant in life. Holding on can make you bitter and unforgiving. But in the long run it is only ourselves that we are hurting.

After all, the more time you spend looking behind you, the less time you have to see that beauty that is right in front of you.
