How to break from an ugly past

Imagine your past is something you can feel or touch, something you can see face to face.

                                      Look at it straight in the eyes and say the following       

1. You were not my mistake but my lesson
2. You were not my regret but my experience
3. You were not my waste, you showed me worth
4. You were not my folly but improved my wisdom
5. You were not my stupidity, you made me clever
6. You were not a curse but a blessing in disguise
7. You were not worthless, you taught me value
8. You were not my failure, you showed me winning ways
9. You were not a wrong decision, you exposed the right choice
10. You were not my ignorance, you gave more knowledge
11. You were not my error; you only proved that I am human
12. You were the shame that pushed me to glory
13. You were the missing piece I needed to get my puzzle right
14. You were the necessary suffering for my future comfort
15. You were the story behind my glory
16. You were the pain behind my gain
17. You were the sorrow behind my joy
18. You were the tears behind my laughter
19. You were the training needed to secure my future
20. You were the foundation needed for my edifice
21. You were the mess that passed the message
22. You were the signpost directing me to my glorious destination
23. You were the test needed for my testimony
24. You were so rough that you made me so tough
25. You didn’t dash my hopes, you raised my expectations
26. You didn’t batter me, you taught me resilience
27. You didn’t deal with me, you taught me strength
28. You didn’t take advantage of me, you corrected my vulnerability
29. You didn’t kill my dream; you woke me from my slumber
30. You didn’t blindfold me, You developed my insight

You wanted us to be together but I’m sorry time would not permit, don’t waste your time trying to hold on to me, we’re no more on the same level; you are now behind while I am ahead. Your role in my life is over, you are no longer significant, I have paid for your services, you can now retire to where you belong because your appointment is terminated; farewell my past.
We will meet again only on one condition; when this equation holds..

Past = present = future

You can wait for eternity for this to happen; do not weep for me for I am in safe hands now; I am free at last to embrace my bright, promising and rewarding future.
