Your Past

    Hey guys, sorry it's been so long since I've written. I've been super busy with lots of things lately, but I have used some of that time to come up with a good topic: the past. Your past to be specific. Everyone has one, whether it's good, bad, or embarrassing. Over the past few days I celebrated my birthday and that is always a stroll down memory lane.
   After thinking back through all of the years I realized how much everyone in my life has impacted me. I wouldn't be anything like I am today without all of my family, my great friends, and all of the obstacles I have faced.
    Now, everyone makes poor choices sometimes (like not posting in forever). I've made plenty of dumb decisions even just today. It amazes me how loyal and understanding people can be. I know that without my friends being this way, I would be a complete loner. So anyways, let your past be a lesson to you. You can't just forget your past and sweep it under the rug. You have to face what you have done and use those decisions as a guide to who you are and who you want to be. It's important to look in the past so you don't make the same dumb mistakes that you did. Maybe a ruined friendship in the past will help you save a friendship in the future. Maybe embarrassing yourself in front of the class in 4th grade has helped you learn to prepare yourself before you present to avoid that today.
    So I guess my main message is, don't completely forget your past, but don't live in it. Take each day a blessing and do the best you can.

-Yours Truly
