I Still Catch Myself Feeling Blue About Things That Don't Matter Anymore

Every time you get sad about something that happened like ages ago, someone would always say get over it or the past is the past. Well, it's kind of hard to forget something when it impacted your life so much. Our brains tend to remember the negative stuff rather than the positive. It's not the happy memories that shape us, but the sad moments. We change our perspective. We look over our back more often. We try to see past the veil people cast over themselves when they first meet you. We're more cautious because that's how life is. Life is basically a classroom expect there's no one there to say "Oh. Be careful now. Listen to her tone. Watch how they rearranged their words just for you." Life can't be summed up in one of those 100 ways to conquer the world book. No, life gives you experiences. Life teaches us that it's perfectly fine to have something hit you from ten years ago. Sometimes, flashbacks come to us unexpectedly because your instincts tells you that you're about to make the same mistake again, so don't do it. It might not have been a big deal like before, but it changed you for the better. Life knocks us down to show us that we got to get up. There's no advice in the world that can tell you to live, but to live it yourself. I still catch myself feeling blue about things that don't matter anymore.
