In life, sometimes getting hurt is a necessary path. Do not deny yourself of this experience, but never dwell in it. You have to go through it and not around it for you to get over it.

Everyone experiences a dark past at one point in our lives whether we admit it or not. There are decisions we made that resulted or turned out differently from what we expected. There are things we regret doing. There are experiences we wanted to just delete from our system. 

 

But the past is something that we need to accept and in order for us to do that, we should face it and embrace it as something that we love, something that we don't regret to have happened. 

When we learn to accept it, we can finally say we are ready to move on. 

It is important however to not dwell on the past. We allow ourselves to remember the past because it is a constant reminder of how strong we are - that we are able to get through it. 

We don't dwell on the past. We don't live in the past. We accept it. We learn from it. We grow from it.
