There is a cleansing that takes place in letting go. When we fall down in our PAST and roll around in our PAST, people will many times see our PAST before they know who we have become. Letting go is like being baptized with the past, being washed away so we can be clean and start fresh. While the PAST will always be a part of YOU it doesn't mean you have to live there or bring it with YOU. Let memories make YOU strong, but let go so YOU can grow and MOVE ON.
