The past

It’ll haunt you if you allow it to, consume all of your energy and time

10 years ago my ex left me after a wonderful 19 year marriage

To say I have compared so many dates to that marriage is an understatement

It consumed me

And then, I left it where it was

In the past

It’s shaped me in some ways, but it is no longer defining my future self

What from your past is defining your future?
