Finding calm in the memories of what once was feels daunting. If I could take it all back, I wouldn’t. Even though I wish that I could, I wouldn’t. Stumbling is part of falling, and falling is part of getting back up. Progressing to where we are hoping to be means seeing where you have been more clearly than you did when you were there the first time. Building yourself a future based on the past keeps you from being doomed to repeat it. Although, you must know the difference between deliberation and dwelling or it will consume you.
