The following is a letter I wrote to a friend a while back. I never sent it, but I’m sharing it now because I feel it applies to pretty much anyone who is having trouble moving forward in their lives.
*****
You will never be able to move forward with your life if you are still stuck in the past. Stop replaying old memories. Stop hanging onto old habits. I know it’s painful, but you must always move forward with your life. Never backwards.
Never regret the decisions you’ve made. Given your emotional state and level of knowledge at that time, you made the best decision you could have possibly made. Make peace with it. Remind yourself why you took this path instead of the other one. Now look forward and take a step. Don’t look over your shoulder in regret and nostalgia. Chin up. Eyes at the horizon. And keep walking.
Love
A. T. Bui
