Time can change you a lot. Even a year can make a huge difference! Thinking back where I was a year ago, compared to now, I couldn’t be more different. I'm forever changing and evolving. Ever look back at an old picture and barely recognize yourself? If you have, you’ll understand. Some of us have periods of change where we become unrecognizable. Maybe one, or many aspects of our lives change at the same time. Where life is now so different, you can’t even picture the life and person you once were. It sounds silly. Like an out of body experience. But it’s true. The person I was 10 years ago is not the person I am now. I’ve experienced so much since then... We have old friends we don’t talk to. Memories of old habits. Places we used to go... A life that seems so far away now and we get happy that it is. Sometimes you don’t want to look back. Sometimes the only thing you can do is move forward and on. The truth is, you’re allowed to say goodbye to your past. You are years of experience that make you who you are. But your past doesn’t define you in one way or another. You can only grow from it. You’re allowed to put memories in the back of your head. You’re allowed to move on with your life. You can make new friends, visit new places, develop better habits and live a life so full that you don’t miss your past. You’re allowed to be happy. You’re free to create a new world. One that does not dwell on who you were 5, 10, 15 years ago. Because truth is, none of us stay the same. Who would want to anyway? Maybe the past is supposed to be just that, a reminder of who we once were and how far we’ve come. Some people live in the past, some may dwell, some move forward, and some try to forget it. None of us are right or wrong. We are all just doing the best we can. But sometimes in order to grow, we need to kiss the past goodbye. We need to let go of negativity. We need to accept what happened and move on. So here's a kiss to my past. I'm grateful for all that you've taught me, but it's a goodbye from me! 😁😘 #kissthepastgoodbye #kissthefuture #peelingbackthelayers #thehealingprocess #personaldevelopment #mindset #change #lifelessons #lifeisajourney #growth https://www.instagram.com/justmeladylushiiwii/p/BplakGkgfVh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=whk0lhhrsrex
