I could honestly bet that if you ask anyone what their biggest fear
is in a relationship, is that it would be the past repeating
itself. Someone once told you “You don’t make me happy
anymore.” so you’re constantly wondering if you’re making the
person you’re with now happy. Someone once cheated on you and now
you can’t stop thinking about that random person you saw comment
on their picture or in the back of a snapchat. Someone once abused
you and now you flinch any time they come at you just a little too
quickly. Someone once told you that you were nothing without them,
so you cling to the person you’re with because you feel you’d
be nothing if they ever left you. Someone once walked away and
never gave you a reason and now it’s been 2 hours and you’re
freaking out because they haven’t responded. The truth is, our
past will never repeat itself. Things may happen to us that are
incredibly similar, but all things are a lesson. Our pasts were
meant to teach us, guide us, and shape us into the person that we
are truly supposed to be. So maybe you’re afraid of many things,
but don’t let those many things ruin something great that might
be sitting right in front of you. Your horrible past is NEVER going
to be worth losing an incredible future.
