I find when i look back at even the things that have ben most hurtful that they have in fact shaped me hugely and that God has in those times been most obviously prsent and often its when i've grown most in my faith. so how could i undo those or wish to? it dosnt mean they arn't still consquences or that the past doesn't continue to affect you but just don't allow it to st rules for you and control you. i.e a difficult relationship with a parent or friend or other loved one might have caused you to have many fears and doubts about yourslf and your capability to love but that dosn't mean you should assume you never can just because in the past there was failure/ its living through and learning from the without allowing it to dictate the future. this can even happen with positives in that because something went well you expect that thing to always work out and it may not. shape not dictate!
Mmmmm, interesting. Its a tuff position, the things that happen in life, the way it goes down, arnt always great and sometimes are messed up, but they all help to make you the person you are and the person you are becoming. The challage there in lies at the point in which you hold them up to. I recon these things shape you and you cant take that away, you cant forget completly and they will always be part of who you are. but there comes a point when you need to move on in healthy appreciation of whats been and gone and look to the future, you need to let go your grip on these things, keep strong a momory and a place for the these things but dont grip them to tight that they still are what is making you. I think that makes sence. Its a good question. Keep asking it.
