how do i let go of the past... i don't have a choice, and i have realized this... and this sort of nostalgia, even if over a bad moment in the past, is so self destructive, and a waste of energy... i try to learn my lessons, and see what the past has shown me, and i just move on... because i have no choice, my life has transcended past those moments or events, and i can never go back and recreate them... like you said... you see your old shell, and think, wow that was me. i just constantly try to better myself ya know, and moving past trauma or history is something you have to do, to acheive this.

i usually take a drive into the country by myself (and a doobie usually) or go for a hike... and kind of deal with my issue, stir it up, analyze it, and pack it away where it belongs... giving it the credit it deserves, but not power

btw i don't know
