Things change fast.
Life moves on.
But the past still haunts us.
Even if just in the shadows of lonely times, it comes back reaching out to us, ready to take us back to where we were.
Sometime we make the trip hoping to relive the joy.
At other times it takes all our courage and strength to keep our self firmly grounded into who we are now.

Every time we resist, the past loosens some of its hold on us
Then comes a point where we stop resisting and dare to look into the eyes of our mistakes.
We face our past without resisting because we know now we can’t be pulled into the vortex and make the same mistakes again.
We know that we have learned our lessons and have moved on.
With one last look, we bid farewell to that chapter of our life.
This is what they call closure.
Memories do remain, but faded in some corner of our mind.
Lessons learned also remain, strongly imprinted in our hearts and minds.
We just free ourselves from the cage of emotions that the past had built around us.

I guess this is the biggest lesson I have learnt: The past dies the moment we let go of it.

And so, today, this very moment, I let go.
