Forget the past and look forward to the future.

Again, easier said than done, basically because it’s never easy to forget someone who you love so much and shared everything with, whether the relationship only took you a month or two or YEARS, the bond and attachment is already there, making it so hard to forget, but at the same time, sticking to the past and just staying there will bring you so much pain and will really get the best of you.

Sweet moments and wonderfully shared experiences are the reasons as to why we hold on to the past longer than we should be but along with that comes the painful moments, all the crying and the fights, as well as the short-time break-ups that eventually lead to separation.

Moving on is the only way for broken hearted people to get back on track and have a life again. Putting your past behind and forgetting all the painful memories, and just retaining the good ones will make things less harder and also, we must learn how to close a chapter in our lives and when to start again.

Actually, this is my third move already since I decided to fly here to America after that painful night in Japan.
