I Am Sick of Being Told to Forget the Past

its harder then it sounds you cant just forget the past its always gonna be there!!!! so stop telling me I'm a failure cuz i cant forget!

Good or bad, happy or sad, long ago or just the other day....the past is who I am, or maybe better said...has helped form who I am.

I am strong, because I have been weak.

I am kind because I have known cruelty.

I am...

My past is troubled.Not as troubles as many others,But I have my own issues to face.To tell somebody to forget the past is like a slap to the face.Abuse. Addiction. Depression. Hate. You cant forget that. Ever.So dont you ever tell me...

But still... I am who I am because of the past - good and bad. No matter the memory... I want to remember the past! My past is a part of me, and an important part at that!

How can you forget something that is traumatic for you? Don't tell me "just don't think about it." Yea, like that's gonna help a lot. How am I supposed to just completely ignore an experience like that? How can I...

Sometimes it is best to just overlook past events, in order to make the present a bit easier...but some things would be stupid to just erase off the record.

Sometimes our biggest mistakes alter our presents or our futures, and it's...

Those who forget history, are bound to repeat it.

the passed teaches us
it teaches us so much .my passed being abused
its tought me to be a better mother to my daughter
its tought me what to look for in abuser
the passed i know you cant change it but i do
feel if you learn from it...

The most heartless thing anyone can say, completely insensitive and lacking in compassion.

so that they dont have to hear what they put me through.
my mum is the worst, she cant admit that she refused to believe what was real.
rather than face up to what happened to me, because of a man she choose to be with for so many...

Yes i am sick of being told to forget about the past- the primary reason: usually the people saying that are the ones guilty of created the past i can't forget. And,lets face it, most of the time what these people really mean is pretend...
