A recent incident in my life has got me thinking about the past, and how it affects all of us. I had been talking to someone online; I thought we had a real connection, however as I am who I am, honesty above all. I mentioned that I had found an article from their past online; it was an article that spoke of hardship that had been overcome, and how they had turned their past around and used it to help others that most of society has forgotten or given up on. It made me realize how amazing this person actually is. Somehow though to them, it meant something else. They had not been ready for that information to have been shared; in the past others who had found themselves similarly drawn to this amazing person, who had been told of the hardships of the past. Unfortunately focused on certain aspects and thought that because of them they could expect a certain degree of intamacy that was as yet unwarrented. What I saw was an amazing person who had overcome such obstacles that may have crushed others, that this person was someone worth knowing, regardless of the future and because of their past not what they went through but because they survived it and thrived I had hoped to make them part of my life. If for nothing else as a friendship to last and the question that occurs to me now; is how do we move in to something that lasts if we’re trapped in the past?
