How do you get over the past?

"Life is the future, not the past. The past can teach us, through experiance, how to accomplish things in the future, comfort us with cherished memories, and provide teh foundation of what has already been accomplished. But only the future holds life. TO live in the past is to embrace what is dead. To live life to its fullest, each day must be created anew. As rational, thinking beings, we must use our intellect, not a blind devotion to what has come before, to make rational choices"

Very insightful. Thanks.



JohnnyJuice, that is exactly when it happens, it creeps in at night, when I'm finally alone with my thoughts. Except I don't smoke pot anymore, and I have a problem going to sleep. So I'm stuck with the thoughts.

Are you thinking about how much you miss the past? are you thinking about things you wish you had done? Are you regretting things, maybe rehashign things? What goes through your head?

The past is the past. The future is now. If you are going to dwell on something think about when you turn 80 and you think about your past. Are you going to say I wish I would have did that or are you going to say I'm glad I did that?

The only thing I think about is the next warm sunny day when there is no salt on the roads and I can get the bike out. Chicks dig guys with big arms,tats,scars that ride bikes. Now that is something to think about!

I think I understand what you are saying and can relate.

-I charge into the future........but my eyes are wide open.
-I don't build walls around myself......but miss the safety and security that they provide.
-I forgive, forget and move on.....but old wounds are very easily re-opened.
-On the outside, I am cool and confident......on the inside I am weak and scared.
-I am in control of my life....but will gladly accept directions.
-I am not afraid to make mistakes.....but ponder there consequences.


Best of luck to you Polarpixie!!

The main reason the past is so alluring, is that we tend to only remember the good stuff. Plus, we also have the benefit/ hindrance of hindsight....so it's easy to dwell on our mistakes.

Realize that you can't go back to the way things were, no matter how much you might want to. If you're not happy with things the way they are, look towards the future. Work to better yourself and those around you, and always keep in mind that things will get better.

You can only progress or regress...there's no standing still.

The past sucks, the good parts suck cuz they are no longer here, and the bad parts suck cuz they always resurface.
Actually I am going away to go to college and I will not be able to surf, so all I will do is think about the past experiences I have had surfing. I haven't even moved yet, and already I can't sleep. Night time brings too many thoughts.
I would like to think that the futute will still bring all the happiness that the past has offered, but that is something that I think each individual has to dictate upon themself.

With that said, I need to go talk to Havoc about some dank, even though I have never smoked a day in my life, now seems like a good time to start.

I used to always look at my past. Wondering what if, and why did this happen to me. Looking back on things that I could not change was pointless. I try now to deal with life one day at a time..........."This is the day the Lord has made.....Therefore I shall rejoice and be glad in it." This is what helps me through each day.
