Don't Look Back

I recently read an article by Gary Thomas. He wrote that for some individuals looking back at a dead relationship is about fantasy. They allow a relationship that never worked out to steal the energy they should be pouring into their present lives.

Giving way to fantasy can be very destructive. They simply waste our time and steal our energy from making our current life more meaningful.  "There’s a reason that dead relationship isn’t a living one!"

It's true that our memories tend to be very selective. We forget the negative and fixate on the positive. It's times like this that we need to remember why the relationship ended. We need to stop living our lives looking in the rear view mirror and face forward. It's time to move on.
