I always thought looking back was hurtful, and so of course was to be avoided. I am glad I was wrong…
I feared remembering the past
Refeeling old pain
Retracing my steps
Relooking at mistakes
Rebuilding what was broken, inside me
Letting go of pieces of me
Astonighingly, looking back is healing,
is letting go of the fear to look back,
is making peace with all the pieces of me,
is giving me a sense of closure
and of hope
that not looking has never given me.
