The past is the past
thankfully and sorrowfully so.
We have today's gifts and connections,
conversations and hearts to grow.
Let go of yesterday's hurts.
They cannot touch you here.
No matter their lull, their yearning,
their harsh or loving memory.
Let's make new ones today
so that our wells may overflow
with a life well-loved and well-lived.
Let the past be the past.
It cannot touch me here in the now.
I know this, yet sometimes need a reminder
While ruminating and caught in a memory.
To snap back to reality.
To be nostalgic is okay.
Let's make today a great day.

I share my stories honestly as an attempt to find meaning and connection. My intention is that by sharing our stories we ultimately heal ourselves and the world. I want to be a beacon of light to show that it is possible to find your footing and inner strength even when the world seems to be in chaos.
