Most of your present is a direct reflection and representation of your past.
The people you have in your life.
The places you go.
The problems that you encounter.
The particulars that you deal with.
All are immediate and integrated responses to what you’ve gone through, what you’ve done, what you’ve experienced, and what you feel about it.
And, because (or if) you haven’t properly dealt with your past, your issues, or your history… you are now in this space of suffering or settling for the lack and lackluster, mediocre, same-ole, habitual, problematic, messed up, foolish, stupid, back-and-forth, impoverished “stuff” that is holding you back from moving on and forward from that old and outdated space.
It could be different.
You could be different.
But you know that different is going to be difficult. Different is going to require change. Different is going to require different.
Truth is, in order to start doing different you’re going to have to let go of the things that your past is made of. That is going to require that you change. That change is going to disrupt most, if not all, of everything that is your now.
Soon, you won’t fit in the box that you’ve been “existing” in for all this time.
Nor will you fit in or with most of the people, places, or particulars that make up your present. You’re going to realize that you’ve sought these things, and people, for the familiarity and comfortability that these things share with your trauma. They are dependent on a hurt you to function properly.
They will not recognize a healed you. They will not respect a healed you. They will not receive a healed you.
You’ll have to make a choice:
Be healed or be hurt.
Be here or be there.
Be yesterday or be you.
You should choose you.
You Need You.
