Have you ever gone through something and it left such an imprint on you that it changed you?
Then one day it dawns on you that you've never been the same since that day. Regardless of the years, months or weeks it feels as though you left yourself back there. Since then it's just never been the same.
Have you ever sat and said to yourself, "I never used to be like this". "I never used to do things like this". "I wasn't always like this".
History can be so scary because it has a way of remaining in the present and frequently resurfacing itself without permission.
Have you ever had to make a decision under duress? Have you ever had to make a decision for your future whilst in pain? To later only realise that decision was the worst decision ever and as a result you feel stuck and unable to stop asking yourself why?
Have you ever wished to go back to a specific moment and say either yes or no because you made a terrible mistake?
The greatest nemesis of our soul and progression is our past. It has infinite ways of haunting us and reminding us of our failures and successes. In reference to our failures our past can encapsulate us in regret leaving us only damaged. You look back and you think of how you used to be and you hurt and you miss that. You miss you, you miss yourself, your smile and your happiness.
Moving on from the past I'm sure we can all relate is probably one of the most hardest things especially when progression is not visible.
One thing the last quarter of 2015 has shown me is this; there is hope for all damaged goods, where you thought it was over for you that light at the end of the tunnel is real regardless of whether you can see it or not. It is there. In times where I had given up on believing, the gift of hope presented itself. You may miss how you used to be but be of good cheer because who you are about to become is far greater than what you ever could have thought of.
I always thought that certain experiences just break us and destroy us and holding us in, although it hurts but it only feels that way because your cocoon has to be sealed tight in order for your wings to grow. Your latter will forever be greater than your past. Let's look forward to a wonderful future. The past has been done away, let's seat in the car of hope and drive towards greatness.
Born a legend to leave a legacy.
