Dear Emma,

To move on, is to accept and put it down. That is, accept that your past was a baggage and it is too heavy so, it is time to put it down.

It is in the past. It happened. But we learn, don’t we? We learn, by identifying the matter, accept that yes, immaturity played a huge part in making those decisions. And now, it is the present. Present, like what it is, is a gift to be unwrapped. Layer by layer which represents the future.

Till we unwrap it all and see what’s inside, what do you want to see? A beautiful green jade that is formed with years of cultivation to be compassionate, forgiving and joyful? Or a bag of nutshells, decomposed and stinky due to constant accumulation?

Give yourself time to accept your past and then put it down. There’s no shame or embarrassment, only if we want to tag ourselves with that.

Namaste.:)
