Losing the Past

Why do they sting?

The memories that we carry that are somehow triggered in moments of stress and frustration.

Why do they hurt?

They're not current or still alive except for in the recesses of our minds.

I don't know.

THE EASY WAY is to just try and just move past these.  But they return.

You have to extract those moments.  Take them under control and be present in NOW.  They can't do anything other than fester and bleed.  None of us really needs that.  An open sore that just won't go away.

The harder way is what I believe is how we triumph over these.  You stand up.  FIGHT.  Not against each other, but WITH THOSE involved in a pursuit of healing.  It's about communicating over castrating those feelings.  Taking them in and finding out how to peel away another layer of the hurts.  To know that even when it stings that two people can truly demonstrate love through even the toughest of circumstance.

Why do this?

Well, I've lived two distinct ways in my life.  One, trying to hide the pain and hurts and just move through life in a perfect 'bubble'.  Two, opening up and having to reveal the darkness.  Shine light upon it and find ways to eliminate the ROOT of the pain.

I have immense capacity to grow.  I've gone far in this journey and today I realize that the stinging moments are just the way that I continue to stay on course.  Follow my heart.  Open up my insides and TRUST in another human being.

I still can't answer why those specific moments occur, but I know that if you stand and denounce the power they try to yield upon you, you can prevail!

it's like the most famous of men who overcame...

His family didn't understand.

The neighbors laughed and ridiculed him.

BUT HIE DIDN'T GIVE UP (wanted to, but something inside just wouldn't let him).
