Your life today?

Would you say your still dealing with past issues?

Or have you learnd from most of it and moved on with your life?


We all go through things in life, but one thing i do not do. Is let my past run my life today. I take what i can and learn from it. Sometimes it's slow process and other times, it's simple and the answer is right infront of me. Either way, i don't stop myself from growing. I have an open mind to things in life because you never know who or what will change your life if you so happen to chose to change , grow, learn and live. And this is part of why i'm on this site. I choses to live and end enjoy the simple things in life and will keep on keeping on...

I am with you 100% shadow... I feel i've learned and grown from past things but no matter what i do not let them hold me back or affect me anymore

I think that life experience molds who we are as a person and that no matter how we try to not have "baggage", we all do, in some way. Not always a bad thing though. Who we are is what we have experienced. Its how we choose to embrace it that matters.

i would have to say that i am learning to deal with the past.....im getting better!!!!

Moved on, for the most part. It's a gift when I run across someone who can shed some light on some past issue with which I haven't dealt and I'm unaware. Always growing! It doesn't pay to bury your head in the sand.

I know I have alot of growing up to do still

all i can say i learned one thing from the past , never rely on anyone and beer rules

I don't have much to move on from really...but I am certainly my biggest obstacle in my relationships and have learned to relax and let it go....with the help of my special friends here! I am so glad I came here! I love you guys!

Truthfully, I have a couple of lingering issues from the past that I haven't dealt with well at all, and still need to address. But it's a lot better than it was five years ago....

I am doing great although I really would like to spend my life with someone.

I have dealt with past issues. They are there and they shape who I am today. There is no getting away from that. It's like a tree trunk as it bends to the left and right. Still there is romm for much more growth. That is what is exciting and I look forward to the best years of my life.

depends what happened?? for me its been a very slow process and still got a long way to go.

I believe my past helped shape who I am today. I learned from it and tried not to let it forever harm me. But I have found that sometimes issues from the past that you think have healed can jump up and bite you in the behind when you least expect it. It catches you off guard and blindsides you...

shadow....everyday is a new learning expirience for us all. every stranger is just a friend you havent met yet. we all have some issues. thats why we have friends to help us through. we are all so different from each other.....thats the real beauty in life.

I'm struggling at the moment. Logically I know that I need to learn from past mistakes but that seems to be slow in implementing. I'm working on it though, baby steps, and will continue to inch forward.

I will be honest and say that yes I am still dealing with a past issue. Will I ever get past it? I hope so, but only time will tell. Lord knows I've been dealing with it for too many years as it is.

I will say however, that I do not let it get in my way of moving forward. My philosophy is you can either let your past make you or break you. And even though I've had plenty of times in my life where I thought I was on the verge of breaking, I got through it. And each time I get through an ordeal, it just makes me that much stronger.

I honestly think it is up to you as a person to decide if you are going to let that "thing" rule your life and control you or if you are going to take control of your life.

JMHO

the past made me the person that I am today...good or bad...its who I am...

I'm in the process of dealing with past issues. Some I have dealt with very well and others I still need to work on. For me it is all part of personal growth. Cleaning up my past mistakes and learning from them is part of that. I do not live in the past. I live in the present and look forward to the future.

I live in my Happy Place ..
