"There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore,
And who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past; there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future."
I sometimes (more than I'd like to admit) let my thoughts drift to people in my past and mistakes I feel like I've made. I get caught up in worrying about how people labeled me in my youth and what they would think of me now. This sentiment is a good reminder to myself that it really shouldn't matter what happened in the past and I definitely have nothing to prove to those I look back at who said hurtful things in my younger days.

Along the same lines, I read this today -
ReplyDeleteWe make them cry who care for us.
We cry for those who never care for us.
And we care for those who will never cry for us.
Once you realize this, it's never too late to change.
I hold on to some regrets about people who are no longer in my life. On an intellectual level, people move in and out of your life but it's hard for me to let go emotionally.
