Oh Cry Me a River...

Correct me if I'm wrong...we've all been hurt by past relationships in one way or another, right? We live and we learn, right? I, for one, have been hurt by EVERY man who has ever walked into my life (dad, uncle, cousin, ex-boyfriends, etc.) in one way or another. But has that stopped me from living me life? No! Has it made me not want to get close to other people? No! Granted, I may just be one of those people who is able to build a bridge and get over it pretty quickly but why do people hold on to the past? My personal opinion, is that if you hold on to grudges and past relationships that went bad you hinder your future. You could miss out on that amazing pereson who could change your world. All because you don't want to take a chance of getting hurt. If you stop loving, you stop living. If you hold on to all that pain from the past, that means that person that did you wrong still has power over you. Simple as that. Do you really want to have that person from your past having a hold over you, preventing you from moving on?

Just some food for thought. Don't lean on the past like a crutch or let it be an excuse not to move on. If you do, you're going to miss out on the good things and the good people that life has in store for you.

But again, this is all my own opinion.
