How do we keep going?
That's the real question, right? How do we keep going? Life has taught me so many lessons. But the biggest one, to me, are the people in your life. The lessons that each and every single one of them teach you. I know, I know, you're not suppose to let others impact your thoughts or feelings or yourself for that matter. But you see it don't you? The way someone can be in your life one moment, and out the next second. Sometimes, without a single word said. And sometimes, you think about those things and it just eats at you. You might not be stuck in the past, but those feelings will stay with you forever. And you just sit and think...and think...and think...How do I keep going?
@niceComputer2844 I believe people and the experiences we share with them shapes our way of thinking but not like manipulating it or influencing it in a negative way. They help us figure out what we want or who we are as a person, sometimes they brings out the truth in us and sometimes they help us identify what never was ours. So yes we do let people impact our lives but in the end it is us who decides what we want to hold on to and what we want to let go.
At times we are just so stuck to the idea that we cannot be without a person and we need to have that person in our life for things to be better or be right but that's not true, you just need you and that's how it is, that's how it always was. Sometimes we believe that we cannot be without a person and then life happens and there you are, completely fine on your own. Just saying that you have the power to let go, to let go of the words that hurt, let go of the past that didn't turn out the way you imagined it.
There's nothing wrong with keeping the past memories good or bad but if it hurts to remember them then maybe there is still some healing left to do. Let yourself heal, that's how you keep going :)

Life is filled with ups and downs. And the downs hit pretty at some people. But do remember that time and distractions heal everything and that's how you keep going.
