Don't we all have memories we wish we can erase?
I sometimes wish that a part of of memory can be gone forever, especially what I feel now.
Then today, I had a revelation (for myself).
That, memories exist for a purpose. Memories exist to help you face, cope & prepare for the future.
Happy & good memories makes you hopeful about what unexpected surprises that God bestow to your life.
Unhappy & upsetting memories give you the strength, reason and motivation to move forward and far away, also prepping you for the worst. Memories serve to remind you why you are where you are now.
So these days, when I feel the urge to give in to my heart's desires, I simply dig into my mind for the reasons why things ended. And reliving the anger, betrayal & disappointment I felt about those events actually remind me of the need to leave things behind & move on.
In a way, its a good thing that there are bad memories that I can rely on to push me forward.
Thanks for the memories.
