My mum said something to me the other night that really made me think. Something that was a bit like this 'you can't go back to where you once were in the past because you'd be moving backward when you have already moved forward'.
At the time I don't think anything in the world could have made me see things clearly so that statement didn't help me. When you're in a certain state or feeling a certain way entirely then it's up to you to change that but now that I have myself back I can completely appreciate the relevance and truth of her words.
It now makes so much sense that even if you were put in a situation in life where you'd be dealt the same cards from your past, you wouldn't necessarily be EXACTLY the person you were back then because so much has changed since then. I was afraid of being the person that I once was but now I see that is impossible.
Things can never be exactly as they once were because that moment has passed, it's done and it's finished with forever.
