How do we deal with them?

Secrets…Almost everybody has at least one. While some of us are like an open book and can’t keep even the most shamefull things to themselves, others are like occult books, that can be read only by the initiated ones. Even so, there are some secrets you have to keep to yourself (even though you are a blabber) because if the things come out they might be devastating.

Everyone has things s/he’s not so proud of, things s/he wants to shove under the carpet and pretend they don’t exist. Nobody is perfect, we all have flaws, but we shouldn’t be ashamed with our past. We are who we are today because of those things we did then. Our personality is the result of those shamefull situations, of those sleepless nights, of those drunken moments. All of those changed us. We learned from them, we took what’s good and left the bad behind.

Or maybe we didn’t succeed of leaving all the negatives thoughts and actions behind and now they hang like a dreadful corpse on aur back. All these negative things are like a luggage that sometimes you forget you carry, but sometimes it’s so heavy that you have to stop and catch your breath. And once you stop you decide to have a peek inside to see what’s there. You discover that you are carrying so many useless things, so you start throwing them away, in order to make your journey more relaxed. And all of a sudden, you don’t have to stop so often and soon you realize your luggage is so light that you can run and jump without feeling any pressure.That is the moment when you realize YOU ARE A NEW PERSON. The negative feelings and emotions are gone. It wasn’t easy to let them go, but you needed that. Making peace with your secrets is realizing their importance in making you who you are.

All those things you are not proud of  shouldn’t drag you down. They are there, in your past and there’s no turning back in fixing them. What is left for you it’s just a long straight journey ahead that you decide how to make it.
