Moving

A good friend, my best friend in fact, made a post with this as the title as well. It was about moving forward, no matter what, and how we can't look back at the past. It's good advice, and something I far too often fail to heed. She said, "We can't stay stuck in the past, or hold so tightly to the present that we are unwilling to be moved. If we linger on things that are behind us, we'll never reach our full potential, never grow, never heal."

I've always held on to the past dearly in my life, because if I forget the past, then how am I to not repeat those mistakes in the future. Today I made a mistake, one that I'm deathly afraid has cost me the friendship of the only person in this life that I truly trust and would take a bullet for if the need arose.

I need to stop making these mistakes. I need to move on past the pain and the hurt, past the depression. If only I knew how, and if only I could read people, then I would have known my most costly mistake was not necessary in the end.

Pray for me...please.
