in her blog my really precious and wise friend dimi had written a post entitled the people u leave behind where she talked abt people we have met in a past moment of our life and that after a point we should get over them
in this post i wanna talk about people we can't leave behind as the title is suggesting
i'm talking about people that have made a great impact on our life
people who have made a difference in the way we see things nowadays
people whom we've met in a specific time of our life where everything was possible and where we'd let things happen to us, where everything was new and open to us
people who are special only because we loved them truly either referring to love or even friendship or maybe both and then we rejected them and after that we realized that they deeply loved us and it was a mistake getting away from them after all but by then it was already too late
people they loved us for who we really are,for all our weaknesses and particularities
people they thought we were perfect at the moment and this feeling can never be lost whatsoever
however there's also the case of people we cant leave behind not because of all the things we've shared with them and their influence on us
sometimes the present and the unresolved past don't let us get over some situations where certain people are involved in
sometimes the present can be so boring and meaningless and unbearable to us that we tend to idealize the past, we tend to remember only the bright parts and forget all the negative things that encouraged us to be cruel or even to break up relationships
many times i stronly believe we just think of the past in a different way than what really happened so we regret about the way things have turned out
we want to go back to the past as all the remains from those days are still inside us deeply and don't let us move forward
remember we can never turn back time unfortunately to erase things with the knowledge of the present circustances
however things would be different in the present if we could change the past so easily ...
i mean u can never be sure abt how things will turn out and how they could be different if...
time is everything thats my belief so just do things the way u feel like at the moment and dont think abt them too much
a decision or a choice once made has its own consequences and u've to bear all responsibility for it...every choice we make at a time has its own sacrifice, load for each one of us and this is true though cruel and irreversible it may sound
SO then sometimes we SHOULD leave people behind us as dimi tells us to
whats done is done and we shouldn't regret about things we did in the past since there's no point to it
the past can be a misleading guide for the present
GET OVER IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
most importantly never forget to say to people u care abt how much u love them-
everyone wants to hear that even the most cynical ones -dimi!!!!!!!!
this is a useful piece of advice from the preacher of love
KIND REQUEST
i wish to hear my viewers' comments on the way they think past can hold us back

Harry, you do realize of course that you reached the same conclusion i did in my post the people you leave behind!?!?!?!
Anyway, i suppose there are people in my life i will never forget and yes, i might have loved them, but you see love is a strange thing for me, maybe 'cause i have a strange mind. What do i do now with the love i have for the people i left behind?I just keep it, and it's eating my soul 'cause i cant express it for one reason or the other. For you it might be easy to say what you think or feel, but for the cynic minds all we can think are the consequences and we are sure something will go wrong blah blah blah.... So, leave people behind and just be glad you met them and they changed your life and yourself....right!?
Interesting subject youve chosen, not an easy one I think! I would also like to say hi to Dimi, I like reading your (cynical) comments haha!
I think when youve met somebody, at some point in your life, and you have to say goodbye at a moment in time. If the relationship was good and close you will miss this person so much in the beginning. Thinking you dont wanna move on, holding on to the past like a crazy person! And also youll be angry about the negative moments you had together, regret that they happend and wanting to change them if you only could. But I was told, actually by my mother, that after a while this cools down, and all you remember are the good moments, the good times. Like Harry says actually. In this way you find a memory for yourself that you feel you can life with, and maybe feel more free again. But its good to look at the negative moments as well I think. Hard though.
How do people from the past pull me back personally? When thinking of this inmediatly a girl pops up in my mind. A close friend for over 10 years but I hadnt seen her much these last 2 years. This fall she died in an accidant. This was and is still so, so dificult. I remember so many things about our close friendship. The good times but of course also the bad times. And mostly we shared together bad times that one of as had to endure as a child. I never experienced anything negative from her, so maybe she doesnt pull me back now that we seperated? We all try to life on, keep her in our hearts and life on.
But as a parent how do you move on after losing a child?
Ok this is becoming a depressing message lol.
Harry you know what you mean to me as family, in Amsterdam last year. In Athens now again!
The people I love, I love them in their good and bad times and Im not a regretting person. Ill see where this brings me in time.
I think that everyone you meet in life gives a little to your own life. If its positive keep them close. If you feel hurt in anyway keep them far.
harry, you do realize that part of having a blog is actually replying to comments??? Also, if you are going to refer to my cynical mind and my blog, better have the link on the layout!! :P
dimi i was so absorbed with this fucking exam so thats why the comment is late
sorry for that lol
i wanted to tell u this post started with my finest intentions on human's weakness to leave people and memories behind but eventually i realized that it was about our need to get over past and move forward immediately
u re being quite positive this time lol i m deeply impressed
i like your idea: meet people share some things and just be happy abt this without thinking abt it more!
its indeed simple
LIfe is simple
ps i want comment to what my red cousin wrote
getting over past can be hard indeed...a real ordeal sometimes
i think the most important thingis learn to accept the past for what it is,come to terms with it and then move on
accepting our past is equal to accepting ourselves and thats y i believe its so crucial
a journey of self-discovery is always starting from recalling the
past and at the end u ll get free from it and be able to continue
deleting your past is like erasing some parts of yourself so u d better become friends with your demons!
