Someone asked me, “You seem to be thinking always. What do you think about? The future? Or the past?”
Well, let me tell you something interesting. While most people tell that it is important to think about the future and they actually revel in some useful thinking about the future and making plans for a great livelihood, I would tell that it is also important to think about the past. The past has already happened, while the future is uncertain.
The past is filled with nostalgic memories that make me feel good at times of sadness in the present.
The past has taught some valuable lessons with which I can live the present the right way.
The past contains some depressing moments which have shattered me and yet encouraged me to move ahead.
The past gives me some great ideas for the stories I write in the present.
The past is the bittersweet era of all the beautiful things that the present does not hold.
The past consists of songs that serve as my lifeline, while the songs of the present make no sense.
The past has taught me to differentiate between good and toxic relationships.
Sometimes, when the present feels troublesome, the past provides solace to me.
People can easily say to let go of the past. But how can you really let it go? A good past invokes feelings of happiness and positivity. A bad past teaches you to correct your present. Let your past go only if it is traumatic. Let it go, if it eats away your present and carries vibes of affecting your future. Till then, embrace your past, however good or bad it might be. Speak of it proudly. I am not telling you to hang on to it and spoil your present. Instead, imbibe the lessons and cherish the memories of the past. Never forget something that has moulded you into your present version.
