Lost thoughts: crocodile tears

Sometimes you have to move on from what you can’t fix. You have to turn the page to realise there’s much more from life, you just have to choose to move.

I find it very easy to focus on what has gone before me. Actions I have taken, words I said, what people have told me, assumptions made about me. It is easy to get caught up on these. I need to find it within myself to accept that I can’t move or change these things sometimes. What will be will be, the only power I have is to move on.

I can’t control other people’s actions, I can only control my reactions to them. Perhaps focusing on what is in my remit and realm, will bring me back to what is achieveable.

You can’t put your future on hold trying to fix what’s broken. I did that for quite a while when I couldn’t mentally process change or new pursuits. That’s okay because I needed time and space in that place of my life. But at this point, when I’m strong and more resilient, I need to look beyond and keep pushing forward. You aren’t going to get a sense of closure from those people, so why should you let their negativity infiltrate your life. It’s hard to focus on looking forward, rather than analysing should I do things differently.
