To The Past,

To the past. You’re in the past for some reason wether its because things didn’t work out between you guys, someone grew out of it, or people change. There are times, as much as we’d like to, we want things back-fix them the way they should be but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way. I would know. How many relationships I tried to save, how many desperate attempts I took just to have a small conversation with them, all these pathetic things I used to do until I learned the past is the past for some reason. If you lost in the past, then good for you! Because every time you lose, you gain knowledge because every time you win-it’s because you’re your best already. 

So for those who found the one that makes them happy now, I congratulate you! Congratulations on being the winners now. In being strong enough to take the leap of faith in heading towards the future, aka the ‘unknown’, and finding everything and more that you wanted. Congratulations for learning from the past and moving on. For finding out why it just didn’t work with others. For finding the one you truly love. 

I’ve gone through a lot of mess that I made and involved other people in including friends and family. But if I haven’t met Mr. Asshole, Mr. Douchebag, Mr. Abusive I wouldn’t have known who my Mr. Right is. 

So to those who remain in the past, take a leap of faith. Don’t keep coming back. It’s over. It’s done. It didn’t work out for some reason. And if the person is already happy, then I’m sorry this isn’t one of those ‘if you love someone, set them free! if they return, they were always yours’…. They didn’t return. I know it’s harsh. But please, respect the new relationship they formed and just be happy for them. And make your own happiness!!! Cause one day you will realize why it’s called the ‘past’.
