Hello past, it is me. I have been thinking about you a lot these past few years. With every year that goes by, the year gone is added to my mental thoughts and consumes my present moments often suffocating me with a range of overwhelming feelings I have attached to you. I have to say you have driven my life and I have allowed for you to dictate many decisions I have made in present moments. Often not understanding that it has been you that has been my influence and contributor to my mental agitation. I have come to realize it is time for you and I to accept each other. It is time we shake hands and for me to leave you there....in the past. I accept you as you are because you were a part of my journey. I am grateful to you for making me the person I am but I no longer need you to haunt my my mind; to feel as if I could go back and fix all that I did wrong or relive all that I did right. You will forever be a part of me, but one that I should not carry on my back, but in my heart. In order to do so, I will leave all the guilt, the sadness and the anger with you. If I do think of you, I will be able to see you only as a reminder to continue to appreciate the present and to kindly dismiss you with only love. I will give you credit for every lesson I have learned and have applied and continue to apply to my journey. It is time to continue my chapters, so I will flip the page to the next ones with contentment. Hello past, it is me....goodbye.
