who you ? you who

I was told that I should forget the past.

why?

Because it is not a good place to dwell , you'll get stuck with no way out.

but then again even though I'm trying to forget it , the memories.

memories that won't stop playing inside my head reminds me of everything that I did.

sometimes i look at the mirror and see someone that's different from who I used to be.

But what should I do? WHAT CAN I DO?!

tell me 

my present is a mess.

friends that are nowhere to find.

Promises that are easily spoken .

eyes searching for the light that might appear.

I was there looking for something but then .....

Do not forget the past, but do not dwell on it. Memories are good, be it happy or tragic. The past, along with those memories, mold who you are today. They played a very important role in your life. They had a very good impact to you. It just depends on the person. There are two choices: (1) use that to be a better person, if your past is not good--make it constructive for you--but if it's already a good past, make it a competition with yourself and continue to excel; (2) use that to ruin yourself, that is, getting sad and regret them all over again. Actually, regret is good, too. Coz you will be motivated to do better. But then again, it depends on the person, how he will take it. You said your present is a mess? Change it. Since it's the presen, you can move freely and change it. The past cannot be changed anymore. Move on, but don't forget. Forgive and forget? Those are for things that were done wrong by people, but don't forget what it had taught you. Things done, whether good or bad, had taught us at least one thing. This is just what I thought upon reading your blog. I hope I didn't offend you if I contradict some of your beliefs. Stay strong :)
