Our Past

You know that moment when you feel like you did 5 years ago, and you hate yourself for it?  When you've slipped back into who you never want to be again?

We've all done it.  We've all done that one thing that you swore you would never do again, been that one person you said you'd never be again.  And I slipped.  And I hate myself for it.  So why share that?  Because I need other people to hold me accountable.  We cannot all just magically turn into the people we want to be.  It takes time and practice.  And, like anything that requires practice, you are going to mess up.  You are going to drop the ball (literally or figuratively) and do what you swore you wouldn't.

Maybe I feel this way because I did something I regret with every inch of my soul.  Maybe it's because I saw The Lion King in 3D and it has the best life lessons Disney could ever teach us.  You cannot change the past.  But you can make it right with yourself and the people you have hurt.  So here's to a big step forward, but not forgetting every little step back.
