So as I have said before, I am a quote fanatic. I basically live by quotes. It gets kinda bad sometimes! But recently, since it is the new year, I have been reading a lot about moving on. I am the type of person that holds grudges and lives in the past. I get hurt a lot because of this. Just recently a very good friend of mine told me that if I live in the past, everyone will move on without me. How true is that?! I don't want to be left behind by the people I love to hold on to things that shouldn't matter anymore. It has become my addiction. You see I came up with a really good analogy the other day. I am quite proud of myself I must say. I have this addiction.. It is like a drug that I just can't get rid of. Well I have decided that this year is my "rehab year" it is my year of moving on, and as much as I hate it and don't want to do it... forgetting. People say, well you will always have memories... but memories are what hurt the most.. sometimes I wish I had amnesia... it would be so much easier to forget right?! But what has happened has happened. This year WILL be good. I am going to do things for me. Not for others. It is time for that. It only took me 18 and a half years :) But I guess we will just have to see how it goes. I am a caterpiller... slowly turning into a butterflly!
This quote really hit me. because it is so true....
"Letting go doesn't mean giving up... it means moving on. It is one of the hardest things a person can do. Starting at birth, we grasp on to anything we can get our hands on, and hold on as if we will cease to exist when we let go. We feel that letting go is giving up, quitting, and that as we all know is cowardly. But as we grow older we are forced to change our way of thinking. We are forced to realize that letting go means accepting things that cannot be. It means maturing and moving on, no matter how hard you have to fight yourself to do so."
