A box full of memories

In this day and age we have the luxury of documenting every instance of our lives as it happens. With Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, there isn’t a moment missed. That means at any given time we can look back at all the wonderful moments we’ve had throughout our lives. Looking at old pictures, saving seemingly useless trinkets, and even just a familiar smell can powerfully take you back to a happy memory. Like a crush, your first concert, or your first kiss.
Of course we tend to romanticize the past; people only take pictures of the happy times. Don’t be afraid to look back at the less than happy memories, because they are all significant. It’s the mistakes and lessons that we have learned along the way that helped shape us into who we are.
When you're feeling nostalgic, look back with fondness, and see how far you’ve come.

On letting go

We hold on to things because we don’t know anything better, or don’t believe there could be anything better than what we have. Sometimes we feel that we are deserving of a thing or person we long for. Only time shows us what we are deserving of and what we can have. Have the courage to let go of something that isn’t providing you with growth or not allowing you to move ahead. Letting go is a practice one has to overcome many times throughout the different stages in life. We let go of our anger, people and fantasies.
The hardest thing about letting go of people, whether it’s a husband, boyfriend or close friend, is that they are the person YOU allowed in. They were the ones that you chose to share your secrets and deepest thoughts with. You grow from learning what is meant for you and what is not. You gain perspective on what you truly want and who you are as a person.
Patience is a virtue – it will take time to let go and it will take even more time to find what it is that makes you the best you. I believe that we influence the situations around us. If we believe that there is good waiting for us around the bend in the road, there will be.
