There is a need to really close a chapter of your life and leave the past in the past. Never meddle with it again. Just let it sit there and be a source of strength and learning. Don't rock the boat if you are moving along well with the current tide.
I have learned that going back to the past should only be done if you are strong enough to face it and ready to leave it in the past. It just shakes me up and sets me off into a totally different direction. Its like one step forward and two steps back.
I am not saying don't look back at your past. I'm saying, learn from it but don't go back to the pains of the past and don't allow yourself to be hurt again by what has happened in the past. Heal it and face it head on. Of course, closure is very important but don't let that stop you from trying to move on and having a better future.
The past can only hurt you if you let it affect you. The past is over and cannot hurt you anymore... it will be your choice if you let it affect you still.
There is so much to look forward to... Don't let the hurts of the past dictate who you will be in the future. Life is far too precious to waste on people and events who are better forgotten in the past. Let those be good learnings and eventually, things that you can smile about.
