using the past to move forward.
I think about my past ALL THE TIME. It happened. It was there. There’s no erasing. It might be a sliver of an instant when I peeled candle wax off a table or left a note for my Grandpa on his pillow or let my Grandma french braid my hair. Then it might be rock bottom moments in different instances, at different ages (wouldn’t you like to know what they are!). Those moments are just as memorable and important because I am growing from it. I am using it for my own benefit. I can’t erase what I have done or what others have done. What I can do is unfold new moments. Fresh moments. Starting now. Not tomorrow. Not the 1st of the month.
Now.
See with each word I’m writing, I’m getting the chance to start a new idea. Start a new sentence or a new day. I started running two weeks ago - out of the blue.
I just —- started.
Many people use the same words over and over in their lifetime (yes, no, I guess, sure, because, ugh). But, it’s how we use them that makes all the difference.
Are you getting what I’m trying to say?
