time passes by, memories of better times begin to creep in when we least expect it or when we confront a challenging moment. we relieve moments of joy, love and why not crazy ones, LOL. anyway, we all fill our moments with what we think will make us survive, cope with the routine and somehow we get stuck in those memories and refuse to move on because they are part of us or at least were some time or another.

It's no wonder to me how some people live their lives in the past, sometimes confronting the present is not so pleasant, although we live in the present the past will always dictate the steps we take, always holding back a little bit of us, reminding us that there were glorious times that maybe just maybe might not be back, and why replace good memories with maybe new one. we want what we know for sure, we want what we know feels safe, predictable,we want what makes us feel like coming home after a brutal winter storm, the comfort we get when we are so cold and only our special blanket can take the cold away ( along with other heartache, LOL). we all definetely want to hold on to the good stuff, I do not blame any one for it, its normal, safe and understandable but what if.....?

we miss out on wonderful possibilities that only our actions can transform in reality, what if living in the past, in one specific moment keeps us from going the extra mile and uncover feelings, desires we didnt know we have? what if just because is so comfortable we do not move or challenge ourselves, what if memories are so safe that they impede growth, even the creation of new memories become unbereable, and so it goes that life becomes like walking on eggshells and we do not want to break them, who wants to? walking slowly and carefully turns out to be the best bet, holding on to memories then turns into a safe heaven, but look out, there is so much life has to offer and new memories can be made just open yourself to the possibilities and if you have to well break some eggs along the way ( no point intended, honestly) then do so, keep moving forward, you dont have to forget the past, just keep moving knowing that the future holds endless possibilities which will become then part of your past, so enjoy the ride and lets go do some crazy stuff, I know I am.
