• Why must the past resurface in our minds when we least want it to? It hangs around like the garbage that needs to be taken out but because of the smell and amount that task seems impossible. It stays and is a burden in our lives eating away at us untill we have been worn away to nothing. We rejoice in our present but when the past comes to call we fear that our present will change and go back to the way it was in the past. We fear that past that we worked so hard to get out of. We fear it to the point that it devours our every waking moment trying not to sink into the past. Only the present and the future can guide us away from the past. The present we have worked so hard for and the promise of a bright and shining future. Only thing can bring us out of the cold sad past and into who we are and can be.
