I got up this morning and started to clean out some drawers in my room. I was finding all kinds of things from the past. Some of it was from childhood some of it from past relationships. As I dove deeper and deeper into the drawer I thought to myself why am I keeping this? I made the decision to cleans myself of the negatives in my past remove all the hurt and pain of remembering the movies we saw together or the candy he gave me, the watch out of a happy meal,the emails that only caused pain and crying. Instead I have all the memories from my passed that I want to remember in my head not in a box.

I also found wonderful memories from my husband and children all of which I have saved right down to the baby teeth, birthday cards, mothers day gifts, anniversary notes. I have wonderful new memories to make and enjoy and that just what I plan to do. I guess what I'm trying to say is the past is just that the past and you shouldn't let it seap into your future.
