It’s Not There To Haunt But To Flaunt
How Our Grief Outlasts Our Past
Quote to Conversation:
Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form — Rumi
Our emotions have indoctrinated us into believing that we must be happy at all times. While we do feel good about it, life’s not just about being happy. Life is a small packet of consequences and circumstance in which we can only react to what we’re dealt with.
Life is one big surprise, and that doesn’t always mean paradise.
Life goes on, and for a short while, we go along with it. And during that frame of sorrow, he have glimpses of tomorrow while we worry about yesterday’s borrow. But it’s what we take that adds value to what we make.
We can’t treat past as a loss. We can grieve it, but we can always retrieve it.
It’s always going to be something of value because each life only has expression once it has a past, it has self-reflection once it outlasts its grief. Every life may be precious at all times, but on our daily ships, we’re just shell without our mast.
All our memories and experiences are attributed to our past. It’s about how we choose to look back, and more often than not, we’re likely to focus on the good.
