The Sweetness of Forgetting

by Kristin Harmel

Life changes you, even if you don’t realize it while it’s happening, and it turns out you can’t take back the years that have passed by. Matt

it is good to remember that you do not always have to see something to know that it is there.’

The more times we’ve been hurt, the harder it is to see love right in front of us, or to accept love into our hearts and truly believe in it. And if you cannot accept love, or cannot bring yourself to believe in it, you can never really feel it.’

every time a person gets hurt, there’s another layer that forms around the outside of their heart, you know? Like a shield or something.

you can’t go through life living by all the rules and doing what people expect of you without thinking for yourself, you know? That’s how you wake up at the age of eighty or whatever and realize life has passed you by.’

‘I don’t think there are really supposed to be rules. I think you’re supposed to figure it out as you go, learn from experience, and try to correct your mistakes moving forward.

What I’m saying is that no one’s life turns out the way they expect it to. But it’s how you roll with the punches that determines whether you’re happy or not.’

Life doesn’t work out the way we plan, but maybe it works out the way it’s supposed to after all.

You can only look forward in life. You can change the future, but not the past.’

‘Life gets complicated. Circumstance tears us apart. Decisions guide our fate. But your heart will always show you true north.

Life is a series of chances, and you have to have the courage to seize them, before the years pass you by and leave you with nothing but regrets.
