The past is what happened. Once we lived in that moment. We remember it and respect ourselves and wonder at our fortune at having survived. Our minds tell us stories, sometimes the stories make us feel worse sometimes they help us feel stronger. We survive when we remember who we are in life, deep down, the spark of curiosity, desire, passion that is us. That is who we are, not a dusty library of history books and tragedies. We are not just a memory, we are the ones who are still standing, who clear the battlefield, and build a new life, build a better one, because of the lessons of the past, we build the life we want. We move beyond the past because we are alive, because we can choose, because it is what we want.
