The past haunts and it lingers like a frog's constant croak in the middle of the night. It nudges you awake and bolts your awareness to its existence. It is a ghost that tries to scare you and if its not yet satisfied, it will become a demon who will possess your body, your mind and your heart. Then it will become who you are. You will become the face of your past-sullen, dark and defeated.
If so, you have forgotten. You were so strong. The power that dominated you all those years carried that weak heart to where you are right now. You are a superhero to those who have not yet gone through such pain. But how will you realize it if you are blinded by the dark. Stop sulking and take pride on your accomplishments. You were able to pass to a storm that was so strong it nearly wrecked your being.
Last night, I actually had this epiphany. I must stop complaining and regretting everything that happened in the past. It is tiring to be depressed every single day I have decided to wake up and face things. Before, I always imagine this present me scolding the past version of me for all the mistakes that I suffer now. Then, the future me will come and console me right now assuring me that everything will be alright. Things will pass and you will get through it.
