[ ghost ]

Not allowing yourself to be haunted is a conscious effort.

Sometimes past mistakes, or things we may regret find their way to be forcefully felt. This could be due to us not forgiving ourselves or being hung up on the expired possibility or a past occurence having a different outcome. So basically, a tug of war with the past, a jostle with a ghost.

This fight is an unwinnable one. Not only because one of the contenders are intangible but because the past isn’t malleable. Whatever we wish to go back in time to alter cannot ever be altered, and guess what? that’s okay. I genuinely believe that if something wasn’t supposed to happen, it wouldn’t. Even bad things have the advantage of teaching us a lesson, showing us what to or what not to do in the future - think of it this way, the worst thing that can happen is you make a mistake, and you learn from it. This isn’t always easy to remember or to even see clearly, so let this post be a reminder to not be haunted by what can never, ever be changed.

Don’t let the ghost of the past wear you away or obfuscate your present or future.

Leave the past in the past.
