Bad Memories Be Gone!

Memories are our connection to the past.  It's our way of fondly remember something or someone; at least the good ones  'cause that's easy.  But what about the not so great memories, the ones that we try and push to the back of your minds hoping they will never stir up again? All a sudden and sometimes out of nowhere, there is something that brings that ill memory forward and we are  forced to recall an event, an unfortunate incident, regret or even a heartbreak.  The guilt sets in. The sadness weighs heavy on your heart, or the disappoint looms over you like a black cloud.  We will replay the series of happenings over and over and perhaps evening redoing how it  could have happened instead. We retrofit the characters to satiate our "What ifs" and we change the time line with the "If only I hads" just to wonder if it would have all panned out differently. We blame other parties for things we were  prompted or compelled to do. We claim that that it was someone else's fault and do little to bear the burden ourselves. Perhaps it's our way to justify it all but really, we can't change these occurences. We can't rewrite a memory, but we can always write a new story.

Truth be Told: It makes absolutely zero sense to continue to revisit a past you can't ever go back to and change.  The past has passed.   Prove yourself wrong that you can rid yourself of the burdens and rise to meet the challenge of not letting the same story be written.
