Digging in your past

Sometimes, when you get past something like an abusive relationship or a traumatic event in your life, you think you are okay. It's over, and you are still alive. But for many people, there are still remnants of the pain left inside. It might take months or even years for the pain to rear its ugly head again in your life.

I speak openly about my issues and my therapy that I had in my life. I, too, thought that I was okay, but I realized that I wasn't. There were things from my childhood that I never resolved. Things that I didn't think were a problem, but as I was going back to therapy, I realized that it was something I needed to work on.

See, just because you've moved on doesn't mean your issues magically go away. It's like so many people who have gotten weight loss surgery, they lose the weight but the issues of why they overeat are still there and they never really dealt with them and so they put the weight back on.

Unfortunately, life isn't that simple. You have to do the work in order to make a change. And it doesn't make you a failure if you don't get it right on the first time. You need to dig deep, be able to be really uncomfortable, and be totally honest with yourself and others, and that shit is hard. Life is not easy, but in order to grow and change, you must be able to face your past and learn your lessons.

So today, my friends, I am here to tell you that sometimes you have to dig deep into your past to get past the pain that is still affecting your life today. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it. You have to be willing to do the hard work in order to change and to be the change you want to see.
