Close Past Open Future

Good afternoon, they say learn from your past and you’ll have a better future. Most people don’t know how to learn from their past instead they hold on to their past bringing their past into their future. There are aspects in life that will be similar to your past but will bring a new light to the world. Just because something may look the same doesn’t mean its content is the same. There are similarities in all of us as people but we are totally different. Everyone wants happiness but cannot find a way to trust the happiness shown. We are constantly reminded that our past will haunt our future and happiness seems like a dim light that we can never reach no matter how fast we run. This is when you know you have not learned from your past and doors have not been closed. You have avoided the situations by distancing yourself, giving no thought or blocking its existence. The thing is your past is still there, lingering at every corner milestone. There’s a constant battle between your past and your future. Which will you allow to win? Learning isn’t forgetting, ignoring or pushing to the side. Learning is acknowledging, confronting and getting closure. Close a door another will open.
